One team recommends building a proprietary model. A vendor proposes an enterprise platform. Operations suggests improving the current process without AI.
Each option uses different metrics, time horizons, assumptions, and definitions of success.
The discussion becomes a contest between persuasive presentations rather than a disciplined comparison.
Options cannot be compared responsibly until they are judged against the same
