  "dzmitryi_commentary": "This is a strong match for my side-by-side viewpoint. In SAP and AMS settings, the goal is not to rebuild ERP outside SAP; it is to compose small services around it: retrieval, summarization, routing, diagnostics, and agent control. That gives the business room to swap models, vendors, and orchestration layers without redoing the full operating model.",
