Context

Why this matters

Public-interest organizations often need to evaluate open source through more than a technical lens. Procurement rules, accessibility requirements, security review, sustainability, legal obligations, and community health all shape whether a project is a good fit.

When to bring us in

  • Evaluating open source options before procurement or implementation
  • Balancing cost, maintainability, compliance, accessibility, and security
  • Creating an adoption path that technical and non-technical stakeholders understand
  • Deciding when to use, contribute to, sponsor, or avoid a project
  • Building confidence before replacing proprietary tools or vendor-managed systems

What We Deliver

  • Adoption readiness assessment
  • Stakeholder workshop and decision framework
  • Project comparison and evaluation matrix
  • Procurement-safe adoption roadmap
  • Risk, governance, and sustainability recommendations

Outcome

What changes after this work

A clear adoption strategy helps teams choose projects that fit their mission and operating constraints. It also reduces avoidable risk before open source becomes embedded in critical systems.
