06 Build-or-DIY guidance

Honest call: the invoicing reminder logic is simple enough that your ops lead could maintain it after we build it, we'll document it so you can. The email triage benefits most from our expertise (edge cases, routing rules). Onboarding is worth building once and leaving on autopilot. Where you'd waste money: over-engineering analytics you won't look at, we've left that out.
