The build vs. buy call for production agents is the most expensive one your team will make this year.
Build something internal (Claude plus skills plus runbooks), buy a platform, or compose pieces from both. Each option has a real cost with real long-term impact.
Dave Lawson and Edward Li walk through what they've seen across teams making this call: where internal builds genuinely make sense, where teams underestimate the long-tail maintenance (evals, governance, knowledge drift), and where compose makes more sense than either pure path.
If you're scoping agents now, or already running something and questioning the call, come with your hardest questions.
