What this service delivers
Choosing between two databases, between one shared mobile codebase and two native apps, or between building an admin panel and buying one, can drag on for weeks because both sides are partly right and the answer turns on your circumstances. Tell us the options, your constraints and who will maintain the result. We reply with a clear choice, the reasons behind it, the strongest argument against it, and the conditions under which we would change our mind.
