Technology decisions are often framed as a feature comparison. The longer list wins. But the cost of a system is not paid in features — it is paid in the change required to use it well.

Fit beats power

A capable platform that assumes a way of working you do not have will be adopted slowly, partially, or not at all. A simpler tool that matches how your teams make decisions will be live and useful in a fraction of the time.

Questions worth asking first

Before the demos, get honest about three things: how the work flows today, which parts of that flow are deliberate versus accidental, and what you are genuinely willing to change. The answers narrow the field faster than any feature matrix.

Fit is not a compromise. It is the difference between software you bought and software you use.
