Consider another option

A trial that can change the decision
Test one end-to-end Google Workspace task using non-sensitive sample material: discover information, draft, revise, share and verify the final artifact.
- Permissions respected
- Source links remain usable
- Manual steps actually removed
Cost people miss
Edition requirements and inconsistent access across users can create a fragmented rollout.
