✅ Key Takeaways:
- Fit trumps hype – Evaluate tech based on how well it solves your firm’s problems, not someone else’s.
- New tools come with hidden costs – Consider the time to train, document, and implement.
- Involve your team early – If they don’t buy in, the tech won’t get used.
- Simplicity scales – Fewer tools, used better, drive more value than a bloated stack.
- Don’t build your tech stack for influencers – Build it for your clients, workflows, and team.
