Expect concrete examples (intake forms that auto-trigger fulfillment, donor pipelines that update CRMs without human handoff, recruiting workflows that move candidates through stages on their own), tradeoffs between off-the-shelf and custom, and the specific signals that tell you it's time to stop bolting on Zapier hacks and ship something purpose-built.
