Recorded run · Business · 2026-09-15
A large client wants a year-long contract, but their setup needs features we would only ever build for them. Do we take it?
Two candidate answers were submitted. Decider picked one and reported how close the call was. The reasoning below is the run's own output, published verbatim.
Take it. The revenue funds the next two quarters, and we would staff it with the team we already have.
Decline it. Walking away from revenue is painful, but building to one client's spec would pull the roadmap away from what the rest of the market asks for.
Declining is the stronger choice because the proposed work would require features built only for this one client, so it would not compound into a reusable product, improve the roadmap, or strengthen our position with the broader market. The revenue would fund two quarters and could be staffed by the existing team, but that framing understates the opportunity cost: those engineers would be pulled away from market-driven work for a year, while we would take on bespoke maintenance, technical debt, renewal risk, and greater dependency on a single client. The core strategic priority should be product-market fit and scalable, repeatable development, not short-term cash that distorts the roadmap. Declining is therefore preferable unless survival depends on this exact cash, the scope can be tightly isolated, or the features could later be productized or renegotiated into market-facing value.
How to read this
The confidence value is calibrated against outcomes, not a vibe: on JudgeBench, judgements Decider rates 90%+ were correct 99.6% of the time, and the 80–90% band 94.0%. The lowest band flags near-ties where either choice is defensible — an answer, not a failure. Full tables: the product page.
