Overview
Choosing between two databases, one cross-platform app or two native ones, or building an admin tool versus buying one can drag on for weeks, because every side is partly right and the rest hinges on context. Tell us the contenders, the limits you work within and who will look after the result. We come back with a clear choice, our reasoning, the best counter-argument and the signals that would make us think again. Your team can stop debating and start building.
What you receive
- One clear recommendation, stated without hedging
- The deciding factors specific to your situation
- The strongest case for the rejected option
- Conditions that would change our answer
- A rough cost of switching later

Questions
Tell us why and we will respond to your reasoning. If you hold information that changes the picture, we will update the recommendation.
If we have a leaning, we state it openly in our reply. The pick rests on your circumstances and limits rather than on the work we usually do.
Up to four. Beyond that, the shortlist usually needs narrowing first, and we will flag it if so, so that you are comparing genuinely viable candidates.
