✅ 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.
