MATRIX AND SHARED KERNEL
First application evaluation brief

1. The business need
Which process or application should improve? Who uses it and who owns the outcome?

2. The boundary
Which systems, identity providers and data owners must it connect with? What remains outside scope?

3. Acceptance evidence
Agree business rules, authorization tests, audit retention, release checks and recovery objectives.

4. Working together
Identify your developers, business experts and security/operations owners. Agree the scope of Shared Kernel's on-site co-development and knowledge transfer.

5. The investment decision
Compare full cost and effort with your current approach. Include licensing, customization, integration, training, infrastructure, maintenance and upgrades. Agree supported releases, source access, application rights, support and exit terms.

6. Internal capability
Have your engineers implement a representative follow-up change. Assess reuse on another use case before expanding the commitment.

Matrix is the platform. Shared Kernel develops and customizes it, working alongside your team.
