How to Answer
Apply a layered fallback: (1) Switch to a cached/pre-computed response set if available. (2) Reduce payload size (shorter prompts, smaller context window). (3) Narrate the architecture trade-off transparently — customers respect honesty about constraints. (4) Have a 'Plan B' demo path that uses local/offline components.

Common Mistakes
- ✗Panicking or going silent instead of narrating the situation
- ✗Not having a pre-computed fallback ready for high-stakes demos
- ✗Blaming the network without offering an alternative
