  • Package — Our research does not flag plan-gated capabilities for Bolt for Business, but confirm your must-haves — including seats, hubs, and add-ons — against the packaging you actually intend to buy.
  • No invented ROI — Outcomes, usability, and qualifying cost either align or they don’t — affiliate economics are not a score.
