When Services are a better fit
Use direct support when context-specific judgment is needed.
Products are useful when a reusable kit is enough. If the situation involves stakeholders, review design, responsibility boundaries, management-facing material, or operating decisions, Services or Contact may be a better starting point.
When to move further
Move to Services when the engagement is high-risk or unclear
If the external role affects AI governance, security, regulatory response, architecture, executive decisions, or major delivery outcomes, tailored advisory support may be the better layer.

When to move further
Use Contact if the right layer is unclear
If you are not sure whether a product, focused review, sprint, workshop, or advisory support fits best, Contact is the simplest next step.

Use the product when reusable structure is enough.
This product is a self-guided working kit. Use it when you can apply the structure yourself. If the situation needs stakeholder alignment, review design, responsibility boundaries, management-facing material, or context-specific operating decisions, Services or Contact may be a better starting point.
