What this service covers
Choosing between two databases, a cross-platform app or two native ones, or building versus buying an admin panel can drag on for weeks, because each camp is partly right and the answer hinges on your circumstances. Send us the options, your constraints and who will maintain the result. We reply with a clear recommendation, the reasoning, the strongest argument against our choice, and what would lead us to change it. We can weigh up to four options.
What you receive
- A clear recommendation, stated without hedging
- The three or four factors that decided it for you
- The strongest fair argument for the option we did not choose
- The conditions that would change our answer, so you can revisit it later
- A rough estimate of switching costs if the choice proves wrong
The work in 4 stages
-
Stage 1: Lay out the options
You share the choices, the constraints and who will look after it later.
-
Stage 2: Fill gaps
We check back once if an important detail is missing.
-
Stage 3: Decide
A written recommendation of about one page arrives by email.
-
Stage 4: Challenge us
One round of pushback is answered, since disagreement sharpens the answer.
Who it suits, and what we need from you
Ideal for
- Teams stuck between two sensible options
- Founders choosing technology they will depend on for years
- Managers who must justify a choice in writing to a board or client
What we need from you
- The options, and why each one made the shortlist
- Your team size, current systems and who will maintain this in two years
- Any fixed constraints, such as budget, compliance or an existing contract
You share these through the brief on your order page after checkout.
What changes for your team
- A decision made this week instead of another month of debate
- Written reasoning to file alongside the decision
- A balanced view of the trade-offs from advisers with nothing to sell
Questions about this service
Tell us why. If you hold information that alters the picture, we will update the recommendation.
Where we have a leaning, we state it openly. The recommendation is driven by your constraints and not by the services we sell.
Up to four. Beyond that the shortlist usually needs trimming first, and we will tell you so.
