Should the first release collect a preferred window or use a scheduling provider?
- Preferred window with staff review
- Verified scheduling-provider path
Choose: Start with a preferred window when staff already decides availability manually. Use a provider only when it owns the calendar, account, plan, credentials, API or embed, webhook state, and reconciliation process.
Tradeoff: Staff review is simpler and honest but adds follow-up. A provider may confirm availability directly, but it creates another account, cost, policy, credential, time-zone, webhook, outage, and reconciliation boundary.
