Evaluate candidate tools against the firm's needs and pick one

Reasons through candidate tools for a capability gap — weighing fit, switching cost, integration surface, and lock-in — and recommends one with trade-offs explicit.

In / outCapability gap + firm size/workflow/budget/existing stack + candidate tool list → recommendation with fit assessment and trade-offs made explicit

You might say…

Every tool evaluation I've rushed has cost me six months and a migration. Doing the reasoning properly upfront is almost always worth it.

What it does

Given a capability gap (e.g. PM, CRM, knowledge base) plus the firm's size, workflow, budget, and existing stack, reasons through candidate tools — weighing fit, switching cost, integration surface, and lock-in — and recommends one with the trade-offs made explicit. Used when adopting a new system or deciding whether to switch as the firm grows.
