Quick Start

Compare Two Technologies

Compare React vs Vue for a SaaS dashboard.
Priorities: developer productivity (40%), ecosystem (30%), performance (30%).

Calculate TCO

Calculate 5-year TCO for Next.js on Vercel.
Team: 8 developers. Hosting: $2500/month. Growth: 40%/year.

Assess Migration

Evaluate migrating from Angular.js to React.
Codebase: 50,000 lines, 200 components. Team: 6 developers.

Input Formats

The evaluator accepts three input formats:

Text - Natural language queries

Compare PostgreSQL vs MongoDB for our e-commerce platform.

YAML - Structured input for automation

comparison:
  technologies: ["React", "Vue"]
  use_case: "SaaS dashboard"
  weights:
    ecosystem: 30
    performance: 25
    developer_experience: 45

JSON - Programmatic integration

{
  "technologies": ["React", "Vue"],
  "use_case": "SaaS dashboard"
}

When to Use

• Comparing frontend/backend frameworks for new projects
• Evaluating cloud providers for specific workloads
• Planning technology migrations with risk assessment
• Calculating build vs. buy decisions with TCO
• Assessing open-source library viability

When NOT to Use

• Trivial decisions between similar tools (use team preference)
• Mandated technology choices (decision already made)
• Emergency production issues (use monitoring tools)
