Definition
Platform lock-in means dependency on a vendor's proprietary builder, hosting, or data format that makes exit costly.
Why it matters during migration
Wix, Shopify, and Divi are common lock-in sources — migration buys long-term optionality.
How To WP applies this
Our audits and delivery playbooks reference platform lock-in when scoping redirects, QA, and launch monitoring — especially for Strategy workstreams.
