How strong is the evidence that switching costs in Acme AI's enterprise legal-review deployments are high enough to retain customers under direct competitive pricing pressure?
Category: industry
Status: resolved | Type: likert | Timeframe: mid
Context
Tests Assumption 2 (switching costs / stickiness). Switching cost is the bridge between a commoditizing model layer and durable revenue - if it is weak, even a real capability edge does not convert to retention once Harvey or incumbents discount. Likert captures analyst conviction graded against contracted-term, integration-depth, and workflow-lock evidence in the data room.
Resolution source: Acme data-room: contract terms (auto-renew, term length), integration depth (CLM/DMS connectors), plus customer-reference call notes and any third-party churn benchmarks (e.g. OpenView / ICONIQ SaaS retention data).
