Choose the operating model before the tool

CategoryarchitectureManual9.2Evidencedocumented

ProblemFeature comparisons are run before deciding who operates the infrastructure.

TechniqueDecide between a managed cloud computer, a self-hosted agent stack and a local privacy-first setup first, and treat the feature comparison as downstream of that choice.

Why it worksThey are three different products with three different maintenance bills. Grok Bot's value proposition is that you do not run infrastructure, so the moment isolation or model control matters more than that, you are shopping in a different category.

When to useAny evaluation, especially one driven by a security review.
