FAQ

When is an internal tool better than a SaaS product?

When users are employees, workflows are approval-heavy, and multi-tenant billing is irrelevant.

How do I keep spreadsheet users productive after migration?

Mirror the columns they trust, add validations gradually, and preview side-by-side before cutover.

What belongs in the first evolution thread?

One approval path end-to-end. Expand only after that path is accepted in preview.
