summary
Staff+ engineers get a concrete decision recipe: identify one of three strategies: operational cost or unique, find evidence on the website town halls or the 10K and ask leadership for the 6–12 month vision, list project outcomes and test alignment, then stack‑rank by impact ideally measured in dollars. Examples include a $500,000 savings that missed the company timeframe and a Kubernetes migration that actually enables autoscaling versus only saving ~$10,000.
