# What should buyers plan for next quarter?

**Plan for bounded AI adoption alongside stronger migration, permissions and commercial testing—not an automatic move to autonomous assurance.** This is our planning judgement, not a prediction of industry-wide adoption or guaranteed savings.

The useful distinction is between an AI feature that drafts or recommends and one authorised to change records, initiate assessments or complete workflow steps. For Q1 planning, require a separate approval boundary for each proposed action.
