researching-options
OfficialEvidence-based technical recommendations.
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
Investigates a technical question and produces an opinionated recommendation with evidence. Use when: an unknown blocks planning or implementation, a library or approach needs evaluation before adoption, multiple valid options exist and a comparison is needed, or security and performance implications need assessment. Do not use when: the answer is obvious, it's an implementation detail within an already-decided approach, or it's a business/product decision.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Define viable options and identify the tradeoffs to enable timely decisions.
- Gather evidence across criteria such as maintenance, adoption, security, license, and fit.
- Produce a clear, actionable recommendation and a saved report for audit.
Quick Start
Ask a scoped research question and run a timeboxed evaluation to generate a single, actionable recommendation.
