DDoS protection	The traffic concerns and service dependencies you want to discuss.	Which disruption scenarios matter to your organization, and what scope needs clarification?
WAF	The applications, request patterns, and application-security concerns in scope.	Which application behaviors need protection, and which legitimate requests must remain usable?
Bot protection	The automated activity you want to examine and the automation you intend to allow.	How would you distinguish unwanted bot activity from automation your website depends on?
Across your evaluation
Constraints and evidence	Your existing setup, operational constraints, and the information needed to make a decision.	What compatibility questions, capability details, or evidence would help you judge fit?
