I know I can, but should I? Evaluating Alternatives
summary
Framework claims a practical weighted scoring model using four criteria: impact, cost, maintenance, consistency. Examples use Rails: sending a welcome email via an ActiveRecord callback versus a StudyEnrollment class, guarding actions with an IF check versus Pundit, using created_at versus a new collected_at column, and whether to test a flash message. A tiny Spam-study app and tests demonstrate each alternative and all variants pass, with tradeoffs and auditors and CI time explicitly weighed.
