I need to decide between approaches for [describe what you’re building/solving].

Options I’m considering:

  • [Option A]
  • [Option B]
  • [Option C, if any]

Constraints:

  • [e.g. must run on low-memory VPS, team of 1, needs to ship this week]

For each option give me: the tradeoff in one line, when it’s the right call, and when it’ll bite me later. Then tell me which one YOU’D pick given my constraints and why. Don’t hedge — commit to an answer.
