Three moves for this week.
-
Accuracy
Error handler and Router modules don't consume credits. Add error handling before going live.
-
Privacy
Map only the fields a scenario needs; incomplete executions are stored in your account.
-
Cost
Most actions use 1 credit, AI actions more. Credits expire at term end, and when they run out, scenarios stop.
Watch out: a downgrade stops scenarios that use higher-plan features.
Power and Risk scores are editorial judgment for marketers and small-business operators, not laboratory tests or legal advice. Power = leverage (dangerous in a good way). Risk = what can go wrong (privacy, wrong answers, lock-in, cost surprises). Tools change; re-check pricing, privacy policies, and data controls before you adopt anything.
