@Natasha_Jay I would invert them.

@Bredroll @ZenHeathen @Natasha_Jay And there will be further, probably unnoticed, changeover periods, when the technology less or more silently provider changes (or even the org changes provider, …) their services, e.g., the used model is changed.

I have chosen “LOWER”, since many products can have undisclosed or unclear additional requirements.

When it's a product that is bought/acquired/provided with expectation of further interactions with that (computer hardware, an application, both off-line and SaaS etc., etc.), then I can expect further requirements that are frequently not completely clear from the product description – such as need for powerful hardware for local processing (quite painful when the product is just SW without the HW), need to use 3rd-party data processing services or services provided by the manufacturer (may stop being provided in few months/years, privacy-related issues, …) and also many others, including increased environmental load/damage (mostly related to SaaS products, dedicated HW tends to be designed to be ± fine and efficient with this).
