01Overview

What this engagement delivers

Postgres or MongoDB, React Native or separate native apps, build an admin panel or buy one: these debates can run for weeks because both sides are partly right and the answer depends on your team’s circumstances. Tell us the options, your constraints and who will maintain the result. We write a recommendation with the reasoning, the strongest argument against it and the conditions under which we would change our view.

02Deliverables 5 items

What you receive

  1. A clear recommendation, named rather than hedged
  2. The three or four factors that actually decided it for your case
  3. The strongest honest argument for the option we did not pick
  4. The conditions that would change the answer, so you can revisit it later
  5. A rough note on switching cost if you choose wrong
03Process

How the work runs, in 4 stages

  1. Stage 1: Describe

    You set out the options, the constraints and who maintains it afterwards

  2. Stage 2: Question

    We come back once if a decisive detail is missing

  3. Stage 3: Recommend

    A written answer of roughly a page, sent by email

  4. Stage 4: Debate

    One round of pushback answered, because disagreement is useful here

04Fit & inputs

Who it suits, and what we need from you

Ideal for

  • Teams deadlocked between two defensible options
  • Founders choosing a stack they will live with for years
  • Managers who need a written rationale to put in front of a board or client

What we need from you

  • The options you are choosing between and why each is on the list
  • Your team size, existing stack and who will maintain this in two years
  • Any hard constraint such as budget, compliance or an existing contract

You provide these through the technical brief in your dashboard after checkout.

05Benefits

What changes for your team

  • 01

    A decision made this week rather than debated for another month

  • 02

    A written rationale you can attach to the decision record

  • 03

    A balanced account of the trade-offs, free of vendor preference

06FAQ

Questions about this engagement

Tell us, and we will engage with your reasoning. If you know something that changes the answer, we will revise the recommendation.

Where we have a bias, we state it in the write-up. The recommendation rests on your constraints, not on what we build.

Up to four. With more than that, the shortlist itself usually needs work first, and we will say so.

This is a remote engineering engagement — nothing is shipped physically. Work is delivered into systems you control. See delivery & handover and refunds & cancellation for the full terms.
