## Hidden costs and limits

- Governance, data quality, lineage, and AI modules are all paid add-ons beyond the base catalog license
- Professional services for implementation typically run 3-6 months and can cost 1-3x the base license fee
- User licenses are tiered by persona (Creator, Steward, Viewer) with minimum packs of 25 Creator seats -- you cannot buy just 5
- Scaling user licenses as adoption grows within the organization drives significant cost increases
- Implementation costs from consulting partners can reach up to 6x the base licensing cost according to industry analyses
- 21-month average time to ROI means nearly two years before the investment breaks even
