Revisions

One round, included

Ownership

Yours from day one

Overview

What this engagement is

Postgres or MongoDB. React Native or two native apps. Build the admin panel or buy one. These arguments run for weeks internally because both sides are partly right, and the answer depends on facts about your team that no blog post knows. Tell us the options, your constraints and who has to maintain the result, and we write up a recommendation with the reasoning, the strongest argument against it, and the conditions under which we would change our mind.

Deliverables

What lands in your repositories

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

Outcomes

What changes once it ships

A decision made this week rather than argued for another month

A written rationale you can attach to the decision record

An honest account of the trade-off rather than a vendor preference

Process

How the 4 stages run

  1. 01

    Describe

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

  2. 02

    Question

    we come back once if a decisive detail is missing

  3. 03

    Recommend

    a written answer of roughly a page, sent by email

  4. 04

    Debate

    one round of pushback answered, because disagreement is useful here

Booked most often by

  • 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

These are collected in the technical brief that opens in your dashboard the moment payment clears. The clock starts when they arrive, not before.

Answers

Questions this engagement raises

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

We name our own bias where it exists. Several of these end with a recommendation we do not build on.

Up to four. Beyond that the shortlist itself is the problem and we will say so.

This is engineering work, not a physical product — nothing ships and there is no stock to run out of. Delivery is to the working days stated above, into systems you control, and the refund terms set out what happens if we miss the date.
