Graph Engineering for SMEs: Build Minimum Viable Graphs, Control Costs, Avoid Big-Tech Traps

This article provides a practical roadmap for small and medium enterprises to adopt Graph Engineering without big-tech budgets, covering scenario selection using ROI scoring, tool choice between LangGraph and Agent-Graph, Minimum Viable Graph (MVG) design with 3-5 nodes, cost-control tactics like model tiering and caching, phased rollout across verification, expansion, and optimization stages, and three common pitfalls: overstuffing prompts, skipping human-in-the-loop, and neglecting monitoring.
