Tech Intelligence¶
Product
A shared, continuously updated view of technology choices and positions.
Tech Intelligence helps organisations make deliberate, transparent decisions about technologies — and avoid unplanned drift.
Product overview¶
Tech Intelligence provides a structured way to communicate and govern technology choices across teams.
Instead of informal preferences or outdated standards, the product creates:
- a common language for technology decisions
- visibility into what is encouraged, evaluated, or discouraged
- a lightweight mechanism for alignment across teams and domains
The result is better consistency without restricting innovation.
What the product contains¶
Tech Intelligence is delivered as a product with clear structure and intent:
Technology radar¶
A shared view of technologies grouped by category and maturity, typically expressed through clear positions such as:
- adopt
- trial
- assess
- hold
The radar makes current thinking explicit and easy to discuss.
Rationale and context¶
Each technology position is supported by short explanations that describe why it is placed where it is — turning opinions into shared understanding.
Ownership and review cadence¶
Clear ownership for keeping technology positions current, and an agreed cadence for review and update. This ensures the radar stays relevant over time.
Signals, not mandates¶
The radar provides guidance rather than rules. It informs decisions while leaving room for justified exceptions and local experimentation.
Key capabilities¶
| Capability | What it enables |
|---|---|
| Transparency | Teams understand current technology positions and reasoning. |
| Alignment at scale | Multiple teams make compatible choices without central control. |
| Reduced tech sprawl | Fewer ad-hoc introductions of overlapping technologies. |
| Informed experimentation | Safe exploration within clearly communicated boundaries. |
| Continuous learning | Technology choices evolve as experience and context change. |
When Tech Intelligence fits¶
- Technology choices vary widely without clear rationale
- Standards exist but are outdated or ignored
- Teams lack visibility into each other’s decisions
- Innovation happens, but learning is not shared
- There is a need for guidance without heavy governance
Typical outcomes¶
- More deliberate and consistent technology choices
- Faster onboarding through shared understanding
- Healthier discussions about trade-offs and risk
- Less dependency on informal or historical standards
Tech Intelligence is not about controlling technology — it is about creating clarity, shared understanding, and intentional evolution.
