What decisions should I track?

Track tools you adopt, tools you reject, vendors you defer, architecture choices, and decisions with meaningful cost or lock-in.

Can this help future hires?

Yes. A decision history explains why the stack looks the way it does.

Decision portability is part of the product direction, so teams can reuse the history outside the app.

Teams remember code and tickets, but often forget why tools were chosen. Newtools turns those choices into a decision history your team can reuse.

Record the tool, architecture, or vendor your team selected.

Preserve why an alternative was not right at the time.

Connect decisions to budget, lock-in, team, security, and integration constraints.

Give teammates and future hires a clear path through past choices.
