AI and developer platforms are easy to buy and much harder to evaluate objectively.
I help teams determine whether a tool actually fits their requirements, overlaps with capabilities they already own, creates unnecessary operational burden, introduces avoidable risk, or is worth expanding.
The assessment is grounded in your actual workflow and business needs rather than vendor positioning.
The goal is a clear decision:
BUY / PILOT / KEEP / NARROW / REPLACE / PASS
What I review
Business and technical requirements
Platform capabilities
Existing-tool overlap
Workflow fit
Integration requirements
Operational burden
Data and permission exposure
Security and trust considerations
Vendor lock-in
Available cost and usage information
Alternative approaches
Unresolved assumptions or risks
Deliverables
Requirements and decision criteria
Capability assessment
Stack-overlap analysis
Integration and operational review
Trust and risk observations
Open questions and unresolved risks
Clear recommendation
Executive summary
Technical appendix
What I need from you
The decision you are trying to make
Your current tooling environment
Desired business or technical outcomes
Relevant vendor documentation
Trial or demo access when available
Access to the people who actually use or own the workflow
