Buy-vs-Build framework
The corporate decision framework GM Mexico now uses as the standard lens for evaluating new AI initiatives.
I authored GM Mexico’s Buy-vs-Build framework — the decision lens now applied to new AI initiatives before money or engineering time is committed. It forces the questions that actually determine whether building is worth it: is the capability differentiating or commodity, what does ownership cost over time, and can a vendor’s roadmap be trusted with something core.
Half the value of an AI engineering practice is knowing when not to build. A public adaptation of the general principles (no corporate IP) is planned for the writing section.
