Analysis of total cost of ownership (inference compute, tuning, maintenance) against expected business value, and the decision between building a custom solution or using already-built components (Agent Builder, Model Garden) depending on the use case.

TCO and build vs. buy in generative AI is a concept that can show up on the exam. Check the full guide to see it in context.
