How it works

WITHOUT
TECHARBITER
One use case, in isolation
Short-term fix, no context
Advisor leaves
"Why did we build this?"
WITH
TECHARBITER
Centralized use cases weighed across departments
Context & justification kept
Reasoning on file
Reused for the next decision
The structural gap

You inherited the debt. Not the reasoning.

"

The renewal nobody can justify

A six-figure line item. No one left on staff can say what it replaced or what breaks if it's cancelled.

"

The tools that don't talk

Three departments each bought their own software. None of it connects, and no one owns the overlap.

"

The vendor demo shows the tool, not the fit

Vendor demos run in isolation, disconnected from your stack. The integration gaps and tradeoffs only surface after you've signed.

The process

How TechArbiter helps you decide.

01

Grounded in your org

Upload your stack, vendor proposals, and prior decisions. About an hour of your team's time, no kickoff call.

02

Options analysis in 48 hours

Build, buy, and hybrid side by side: cost, timeline, integration fit, overlap with what you already own, and a confidence score on each.

03

Decision simulation, on request

See what a vendor option would actually produce for your business, built from public documentation.

Output transparency

Know what's proven. Know what's estimated.

Architecture model

Structural view

How an option fits your existing stack: dependencies, integration points, and where the seams are.

ARCHITECTURE MODEL
Fleet routing engine — 3 integration points identified. 1 data-sync gap flagged against your dispatch system.
Capability simulation

What it would likely do

An approximation of vendor functionality from public documentation, not a connected demo.

SIMULATION — PUBLIC DOCS ONLY
Vendor B: automated load-balancing across regions. Unverified against your live data — not run in your environment.
Structured analysis

Cost, timeline, tradeoffs

The comparative numbers behind a recommendation, organized so you can interrogate them yourself.

STRUCTURED ANALYSIS
Build: $340K / 14 wks. Buy: $210K/yr + integration. Hybrid: $280K / 9 wks.

Common questions

What you should know before we talk.

Advisory firms spend weeks on scheduling and template customization, not analysis. We start from your actual documents. Every conclusion is labeled by evidence strength, so you see which findings rest on hard data and where the gaps are.

Your existing stack details, the vendor proposals on the table, prior decision records, and the use case. Most of this is already in your data room. The intake form takes about an hour.

Your documents are used only for your analysis. They aren't shared, retained beyond the engagement, or used to train any models. We can sign your NDA before intake begins.

We don't replace them. We provide the independent second read their incentives won't allow. If we agree with their recommendation, you sign with confidence. If we don't, you find out before the money moves.

Yes. Intake covers your full stack, not just the tool in question. The analysis flags where contracts duplicate capabilities and where data isn't connected.
