01 Overview

Choices such as Postgres against MongoDB, React Native against two native apps, or building an admin panel against buying one can stall a team for weeks, because each side has a point and the right answer depends on your circumstances rather than general advice. Tell us the options, your constraints and who will look after the outcome. You receive a written recommendation with its reasoning, the best argument against it, and the situations in which we would pick differently.

02 Deliverables

5 items

What you receive at handover

  1. D01 A clear recommendation that names one option rather than hedging
  2. D02 The three or four factors that decided it in your situation
  3. D03 The strongest fair argument for the option we did not choose
  4. D04 The circumstances that would change the answer, so it can be revisited later
  5. D05 A brief note on switching cost if the choice proves wrong

03 Outcomes

What should be true once it ships

  • A decision reached this week rather than debated for another month
  • A written rationale you can attach to your decision record
  • A clear account of the trade-off, independent of any vendor's preference

04 Process

How the 4 stages run

  1. Describe You set out the options, the constraints and who maintains the result
  2. Question We come back once if a deciding detail is missing
  3. Recommend A written answer of about a page, sent by email
  4. Debate One round of pushback is answered, because challenge sharpens the answer

05 Fit & inputs

A good fit for

  • Teams stuck between two options that are both defensible
  • Founders picking a stack they will be living with for years
  • Managers who need a written rationale for a board or a client

What we need from you

  • The options on your shortlist and why each one made it
  • Team size, current stack and who will maintain the result in two years
  • Any hard constraint, such as budget, compliance or an existing contract

These inputs are collected through the technical brief in your dashboard after payment. The duration is counted from when they arrive.

Questions about this engagement

Push back and we will engage with it properly. If you know something that changes the answer, we will say so.

Where a bias exists, we name it in the write-up so you can weigh it.

Up to four. Beyond that the shortlist itself is the problem, and we will tell you.

This is technology work delivered digitally — nothing is shipped. Work is delivered into systems you control within the duration stated above, and the delivery and refund policies set out what happens if a date is missed.
