79 — Technology (Tech Stack)
Your tech stack is a strategic choice. Own it or it will own you.
What Lives Here
The technology infrastructure for your business operations — the tools, platforms, and systems that run the enterprise day to day.
- Tech stack map — complete view of every tool in use across the business
- Decisions log — why you chose X over Y, what changed your mind
- Subscriptions — all paid tools, renewal dates, costs, owners
- Integrations — how your tools connect to each other
- Build vs. buy decisions — what you custom-built vs. what you pay for
- Offboarding/migration — tools you’ve deprecated and replacements

Most entrepreneurs don’t audit their tech stack until the bill arrives. I do a quarterly audit — what am I paying for, what am I actually using, what’s redundant.
The decisions log sounds like overhead but it pays for itself fast. When a team member asks “why are we on X instead of Y?”, I have an answer. When a vendor raises prices, I know exactly why we chose them and whether the reason still applies.
My business tech stack is separate from my personal tech stack (which lives in UI domain 08). This folder is specifically for the enterprise — the tools that run the business operations, not my personal command center.
