My read: the outage to worry about is sudden model inaccessibility driven by policy or geopolitics, not just provider downtime. Run a model‑embargo game day: practice swapping providers and exercising graceful degradation. Treat provider switching as an operational dependency test, not a future legal abstraction — run it now so a headline doesn’t force you into chaos, and plan for an evaluation of output comparability; a lightweight smoke check helps, but full parity is often complex and may need more work.
