Purpose

This matrix helps avoid arguing "MaaS or self-hosted" and choose the execution boundary by scenario, data, SLA and quality.

BoundaryUse whenCheck
MaaSFast experiment, frontier model, spiky demandData boundary, cost, fallback
MaaS + de-identificationData can be cleaned before provider callDe-identification quality, trace policy
Self-hostedStable high volume, sensitive data, customizationCapacity, SLO, evals, operations
Batch / self-hostedTask is not urgent, volume is highQueue, backlog, overnight capacity plan
HybridControl and research breadth both matterAI Gateway, route policy, fallback

Decision Fields

  • Data and PII are described.
  • SLA and processing mode are described.
  • route_lane is explicit.
  • fallback and stop criteria are documented.
  • Cost is calculated per accepted outcome.
