- Role:
- UX Design, Front-End Development, Platform Analysis
Platform Decision Support to De-risk Your Investment
Project Objective
Provide focused technology assessment and working prototypes to help Michelman make a platform decision for their upcoming sales tool development. This comparative analysis will provide insights to help inform platform choice before committing significant development resources.
Core Focus:
- Drag-and-drop UI performance across platforms
- Technical feasibility for offline functionality
- Developer experience and ecosystem maturity
- Platform-specific capabilities and limitations
Scope & Timeline
Duration: 2 weeks (complete by August 1, 2025)
Investment: $10,000 fixed price
What You WILL Receive:
- Technical performance comparison of drag-and-drop across platforms
- Working prototypes demonstrating real performance differences
- Developer experience insights from building in each platform
- Platform capability assessment for offline functionality
- Clear technical pros/cons relative to your requirements
- Technical recommendation with detailed rationale
Scope Focus
This engagement focuses on technology comparison and performance testing. Project planning, timelines, and resource estimates are outside the scope of this engagement.
Technical Evaluation Process
-
Platform Prototyping: Build core drag-and-drop interactions across 3-4 platforms
- Potential options: HTML/JS (vanilla), React ( @dnd-kit), React Native, Native iOS (SwiftUI)
- Final selection based on initial discussion with Michelman dev team
- Performance testing and "feel" assessment
- Developer experience documentation (ecosystem, tooling, learning curve)
- Technical capability evaluation (offline, deployment, maintenance complexity)
- Platform recommendation with technical rationale
Deliverables

Investment Justification
$10,000 Fixed Price Platform Assessment
This focused investment in technology due diligence helps inform your platform decision with concrete performance data and hands-on insights. The cost of rebuilding after selecting an inadequate platform far exceeds this assessment investment.
Technical insight to make the right choice once, rather than expensive course corrections later.
