Try one real task before switching
A generic checklist to run yourself. Use a small, reversible trial and non-sensitive sample data.
- Define one task and write down what a useful result would look like.
- Confirm the selected edition, total cost, setup owner, and required connections in the official documentation.
- Run the same task in your current setup and the candidate. Record missing steps, manual work, and errors.
- Check how you would export or remove your trial data and return to your current setup.
- Keep, test further, or stop. Do not migrate until your must-have requirements are confirmed.
Where your information goes
Inference depends on the selected model and routing provider.
