What to ask before you buy

  • What is your recall and precision on my harms, in my languages, at my volume? Not in general.
  • What happens when you're wrong, and how does a person override it?
  • Where does my data sit, who can read it, and what happens to it when we leave?
  • What does the price do when our volume doubles? Show me the tier boundaries.
  • Who else my size uses this, and can I speak to one of them without you present?
  • What is your incident process when your service is down and my queue is filling?
