Technology Radar

A dated, opinionated view of the practices and technologies we would adopt, trial, assess or hold.

Reviewed 17 August 2026

AdoptData

Data contracts

Make producer-consumer expectations testable and owned.

AdoptPlatform

OpenTelemetry

A shared observability language across services and workflows.

AdoptAI

Retrieval evaluation

Measure answer grounding and retrieval quality before scale.

TrialData

Lakehouse table formats

Evaluate portability and operating complexity against actual workloads.

TrialAI

Small language models

Useful where latency, privacy and bounded tasks matter more than breadth.

TrialPlatform

Policy as code

Move recurring control decisions into reviewable, testable rules.

AssessAI

Agentic workflows

Promising for bounded orchestration; requires strong observability and escape routes.

HoldAI

Vector-only knowledge stores

Avoid treating vector search as a substitute for source and metadata design.

This radar is an opinionated, dated view—not a universal ranking. Reassess each choice against your constraints.
