Technical evaluation

What do you need to know before deciding?

Turn your requirements into questions for technical review. Start with the website, then examine the details that matter to your fit decision.

Website context: What does your website need?; Outline your website’s purpose, delivery requirements, and protection concerns so the evaluation starts with your actual context.
Capability detail: Which details would establish fit?; Identify the technical information you need to assess the capabilities you are considering against your requirements and existing setup.
Open questions: What remains unresolved?; Separate what you understand from the assumptions, limitations, and implementation questions that still need closer investigation.
