<Option A> vs <Option B>
A worked example in multi-column layouts. Each :::columns block is one row; columns are 2–6 wide and don't nest.
The case for and against
The case for
- <The strongest argument, stated by someone who believes it>
- Exactly the behaviour we need, no vendor cost at scale
The case against
- <The strongest counter, stated just as fairly>
- Months of engineering before parity, and we own every edge case
The options on the table
Build
Maximum control, maximum cost — <the trade, in your words>.
Buy
Fast to parity, ongoing fees, less control — <what that costs you>.
Borrow
Extend something open-source. <Why it's the pragmatic middle here.>
Before and after
Before
What today looks like, <without editorial>.
After
What changes, and <the one thing that gets worse>.
The call
Which one, and <the constraint that decided it>.
