Our Review Criteria
Founder-Led Context
Does it solve problems for teams under 10? Is it simple enough for a non-technical founder to manage? We prioritize tools that don't require a dedicated admin.
Implementation Lift
How fast can a team get to "wow"? We measure time-to-value and the complexity of the onboarding process, favoring tools with quick wins.
Scalability & Escape Velocity
Will this system break at 2x, 5x, or 10x volume? We assess the "ceiling" of a tool and how difficult it is to migrate away from if you outgrow it.
Support Quality
When things go wrong, how good is the help? We test support channels for responsiveness, expertise, and understanding of small business needs.
Total Cost of Ownership
We look beyond the sticker price to consider hidden costs, integration expenses, and the price of complexity.
