CS ANGEL · BUILD VS BUY PLAYBOOK
The Build vs Buy Scorecard
Everyone wants the AI silver bullet. There isn't one. So score the one capability in front of you, one line at a time. Five always leans build, one always leans buy.
1 = lean buy
5 = lean build
WHERE YOU LAND
0 / 35
BuyHybridBuild
Answer all seven lines to see where you land. 0 of 7 done.

The data gate. Building this would put customer data somewhere you cannot contain.
The ownership gate. No named person will own the upkeep after launch.
