What this changes for UK buyers
Persistent execution moves the buying decision beyond answer quality. A workflow can touch several systems and accumulate model and execution charges while the person who assigned it is away.
What buyers should do
Verify UK contracting, residency and account entitlement; Restrict identity, connector scopes and outbound tools; Require approval before irreversible actions; Test the spending cap and authorised resume path; Record model, tool, sandbox and reviewer cost
