Nebula Decision Guide
Before you automate, identify the actual architecture problem.
Teams often reach for an AI agent, workflow tool, or new platform before separating four different issues: unclear business ownership, missing system boundaries, poor integration design, and genuine model capability gaps.
Diagnostic questions
- Can you name the business outcome and owner?
- Is there one authoritative source for each critical record?
- Are authentication, permissions, auditability, and rollback defined?
- Can the workflow fail closed without creating financial or customer harm?
- Is AI necessary for the uncertain step, or would deterministic automation be better?
When a paid engagement makes sense
Use paid discovery when the answer spans multiple systems, teams, security boundaries, or deployment decisions and you need a written target architecture before engineering starts.
