Stack Selection

Present known trade-offs for selected stack:

Do you accept these trade-offs?

• Yes, proceed
• No, reconsider (return to stack-evaluation)

Step 3: Capture Decision Notes

Ask for additional context:

1. Why this stack over alternatives? (optional)
2. Specific concerns for implementation plan?
3. Timeline considerations?

Step 4: Validate Local Dev Approach

Confirm local development approach works for the team.
