No water, sewage backing up, or major flooding = emergency. Slow drain, dripping faucet, or running toilet = not urgent, but will cost more if ignored.
What should emergency service cost?
After-hours plumbing runs $150-300 just to show up, then $100-200/hour. If it can wait until morning, you'll save half.
How do I know I'm not getting ripped off?
Get the diagnosis first, then the price. If they quote a huge number without explaining what's broken, get a second opinion.
Clarity before cost
If you're stuck between options, send PJ the details. A quick outside read can save you money, time, and a bad decision.

Common Mistake
['Starting with the most complex use case instead of the simplest.', 'Buying a platform before running a 30-day single-use-case pilot.', 'Not involving the staff who will actually use it in the selection process.']
