InfoWorld’s sources warn the new layer brings stack sprawl, confidence scores that do not transfer between vendors, and decision schemas that encode business policy. We compare Jev, Clef, Strands Decider 2B, GLiNER2.5-Decide and the Decisions API on price and latency, then set out the calibration, governance and cost-per-decision work that decides whether the savings hold.
