What to know before you commit.
It fits when

- 02 Strong model quality (GPT-5.2)
- 03 Business plan: no training on your data, GDPR/CCPA aligned, SOC 2
- 04 60+ apps (Slack, Drive, SharePoint, etc.) on Business
- 05 Predictable per-user cost for Business/Enterprise
It doesn't fit when
- 01 Free/Plus: data may be used for training (check terms)
- 02 Per-user pricing can add up for large teams
- 03 Vendor lock-in once workflows are embedded
- 04 Credits for Codex/Sora add variable cost
