Dedicated environments often force a choice between repeatability and the boundaries a customer needs to trust.
The pressure is to create a durable pattern without allowing exceptions to become hidden dependencies.
“I need to know this will behave like a dependable part of our clinical environment, not a special case.”

Sponsors the hospital’s deployment and is accountable for clinician confidence at go-live.
What pulls against what
- standard platform reuse vs. dedicated isolation
