Decision comparison

Compare fit before you compare features.

Select up to four repositories. ThingsO keeps fit, operating reality, evidence gaps and source facts separate so the decision is not reduced to star counts.

Comparison ruleNo universal winner.

The stronger choice depends on your use case, constraints and the evidence available for each project.
