WHO IT MAY SUIT
Start with the shape of the work.
A custom build may suit a workflow that needs bespoke engineering. PearlCRM may suit a team that wants a working CRM core and room to shape its own processes.

QUESTIONS TO ASK
Make the fit concrete.
| Decision area | A custom build | PearlCRM |
|---|---|---|
| Time to value | What needs to be designed, built, tested, and maintained before launch? | Which workflows can we start with and refine as we learn? |
| Flexibility | Which changes will need engineering support? | Which workflows and records can the team configure? |
| Ownership | Who will maintain the product as the process changes? | Who will own configuration, data, and follow-up after rollout? |
