So you think a new tool will help? Here’s an idea-t to think about…
summary
A people-first decision framework called IDEA-T presents 12 concrete heuristics, linked to quality attributes and activities in a GitHub repo under GPL 3.0, used in case studies and workshops. Persona-driven examples (Anna, Bill, Cam) show outcomes: five hours of meetings avoided a needless license purchase and one vendor found 42% of past customer queries tied to these heuristics. The repo (v1.7) supplies fast‑path agendas, persona shortcuts and prototypes to test whether a tool should be built or bought.
