Briefing executives without jargon fog
Notes from Legacy Modernization Briefing on keeping options clear when budgets are tight.
Executives do not need a tour of frameworks. They need options with costs, risks, and learning curves attached. Our briefing outline forces three paths: stabilize, strangler, and replace—with equal seriousness.
Stabilize is not failure. For many Can Tho and Mekong Delta firms, buying time with observability and runbooks is the only honest first move.
When replacement wins, the brief must still name dual-run windows and rollback triggers. Otherwise the decision is aspirational.
We grade memos on decision usefulness, not vocabulary density.
