Decide build, buy, or wait on an AI tool

Make an honest call on an AI tool before you commit money or time.

Help me decide whether to build, buy, or wait on an AI tool for this: {{need}}.

My situation: {{context}}
My budget, time, and team: {{constraints}}

Give me:
1. **Build vs buy vs wait:** the honest case for each, in plain language.
2. **The real cost of each** (money, time, and who has to maintain it), using only what I told you.
3. **A recommendation** for my situation, with the one thing that would change your advice.

No hype about AI. If "wait" or "an off-the-shelf tool" is smarter than building, say so.
