When NOT to use Sponsio
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- Avoid using Sponsio if your project requires detailed customization of safety contracts at the drafting stage rather than runtime enforcement.
- Do not choose Sponsio if you prefer tools without built-in security measures for specific frameworks like OpenClaw, where manual control over integration is preferred.
