The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Evaluate build, buy, or partner. Capability needed: [CAPABILITY]. Strategic importance (core or supporting): [IMPORTANCE]. Options and facts (costs, timelines, risks): [OPTIONS]. Team capacity: [CAPACITY]. Output format: 1. A decision table: Criterion | Weight | Build | Buy | Partner. Criteria: strategic differentiation, time to market, total cost over 3 years, control and flexibility, quality, risk, skills required, maintenance burden, exit options. Score 1 to 5 and calculate weighted totals with the arithmetic shown. 2. A cost model with formulas: build = engineering months x loaded cost + maintenance; buy = license x years + integration; partner = revenue share or fees. 3. A sensitivity analysis: what if build takes 50 percent longer, or the license cost rises 20 percent? 4. A decision tree: is it core? is a good solution available? can we integrate it? 5. Due diligence questions for the buy and partner options. 6. A recommendation, with the conditions under which it would change. Use only my data and label estimates.
