Recommendation Explorer

Rule-based method selection for the next step.

The explorer evaluates methods by goal, phase, team size, time window, format, and complexity. The rules stay transparent so the selection remains understandable.

Ranking points compare relevance to your goal, not a probability of success. Time and group size are assessed separately. Unknown or overlapping ranges require your review.
