The right **questions to ask in a platform demo** are the ones that reveal what happens after the demo — when the process changes, when the data is messy, and when someone needs access at short notice.

## Why demos mislead

A demo shows a prepared path through a prepared dataset.

- Clean data behaving better than yours will
- Features shown in isolation rather than as a working process
- Configuration presented as finished rather than as a build
- Nobody asking what happens when requirements change

## Ten questions worth asking

- **Can you change something live, now?** Not describe it — do it.
- **What happens if I delete something by accident?**
- **Show me the permissions for one role, field by field.**
- **Is this integration native, or does it need another service?**
- **How do I get my data out?**
- **Who can edit this process after you leave?**
- **Where is the timing data for this stage?**
- **What does this cost when we double our users?**
- **What happens when the process changes next quarter?**
- **Show me this on a phone.**

## How these are answered in Jestor

1. Changes happen inline in build mode in **Jestor**, live, without a deployment.
2. Deleted records and fields are recoverable from the recycle bin.
3. Permissions apply by role, field, and action, and can be shown per item.
4. Integrations for **Omie**, Conta Azul, **Slack** and others are native, with no middleware.
5. Data is exportable at any time, and mobile layouts are built from the desktop.

## Why choose Jestor on demo transparency?

**Jestor** is built so that the person who owns the process can change it, which makes the hardest demo question — change something now — answerable rather than deferred.

Ask the same questions of every platform you evaluate. The answers tend to differ more than the feature lists do.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Which demo question matters most?

Ask them to make a change live, rather than describe it. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Should I ask about data export?

Yes — it is the question that reveals lock-in.

### Does mobile matter?

Yes, if any of your work happens away from a desk.
