A Space card should help you decide whether a tool fits your task before you invest time in it.

## Read the availability label first

| Label | What it should mean |
| --- | --- |
| Blueprint example | An explanation of a possible tool or workflow. No working endpoint or paid access is promised. |
| Preview | A specific working preview is available under its stated limits. Treat it as a test experience. |
| Available | The listed access path, limits and support arrangement have been checked. |
| Managed service | Pat operates an agreed service under a defined scope and commercial arrangement. |

**Every Space in this starting guide collection is a blueprint example.** Ask Pat about the current availability of a particular implementation.

## Check the whole card

A useful card describes the task, input, output, review step, compatible destinations, limits and cost basis. It should also say what the tool does when it cannot complete an item.

For a paid tool, review the actual offer before use: what is counted, whether retries count, any minimum or recurring charge, and what happens when you reach a limit. A demonstration article is not a checkout agreement.

## Think in building blocks

A document tool can produce text for a search tool. A search result can support a draft. A reviewed draft can enter an existing business system. The connections and permissions matter as much as the individual tools.
