What buyers should check before acquiring AI-native SaaS software

Buyers should clarify whether AI is core to the value proposition or only a secondary workflow improvement. That distinction affects cost structure, reliability, and transfer risk.

Documentation, SBOM, OSS scan results, and support commitments matter because they compress uncertainty. They do not eliminate diligence, but they make the first assessment more credible.

The more a listing depends on operational knowledge that is not visible in the product or the documents, the more careful the buyer should be.
