What customers criticise (separate from risk signals)
Weeks old as a brand and months old as an entity, with no independent delivery record under its own name and no published pricing or engagement terms. Claude-first is still a default, and a buyer whose right answer is consistently a competitor's model should ask how that decision gets made and who signs it off. The stated ideal client, one where the chief executive already believes, is a useful filter for Ode and a warning for any buyer who is still building the internal case.
