Build vs Buy Decision
The build-vs-buy decision is a structural decision model for evaluating whether software or components should be developed in-house or sourced externally. It weighs costs, time-to-market, strategic advantage, and total cost of ownership. The decision requires cross-functional input from product, engineering, and procurement.
