Start with the smallest sensible solution

Custom software is not always the answer.

Sometimes an existing plugin, a simple automation or a small calculator solves the problem. We start there. If a custom tool is justified, the scope grows only as far as the business case requires.

2Small customizationWould a focused plugin, automation or calculator bridge the gap?
3Custom systemBuild a larger portal or internal application only when the workflow justifies it.
