Speckle solves interoperability without a proprietary hub — it version-controls the model data itself, so consultants on different software stay in sync.

Strengths

Open source with no vendor lock-in
Version control for model data
Connectors for most major AEC tools

Drawbacks

Requires some setup discipline to be useful
Advanced features need a paid plan
