Isn't betting on model-agnosticism riskier than standardizing on one provider?

Standardization is attractive when a component is differentiated and stable. It becomes a liability when the component is commoditizing, because it converts a market of interchangeable suppliers into a single point of dependency for pricing, terms, availability and jurisdiction. The organizations most exposed are those that built their prompts, embeddings and history inside one provider's product, where the switching cost now exceeds any benefit switching would bring.

Centralpoint holds the index, prompts, skills and logs on the organization's side, so provider choice stays reversible. That makes standardization safe when it suits — one provider can be used exclusively — without the standardization becoming structural. The commercial effect is that a provider whose pricing you can walk away from negotiates differently.
