Collaborate

Build useful evidence and practice around Technical Credit.

We are looking for focused collaborations where Technical Credit can be applied, tested, challenged, or developed into concrete methods for software engineering decisions.

What
Practice pilots

Apply the concept to architecture, maintainability, modernization, platform, or quality decisions.

Advisory work

Shape workshops, assessments, or strategy sessions with engineering and product leaders.

Research studies

Contribute empirical settings, datasets, interviews, theory-building, or co-authored outputs.

How
