The person asking “Do we actually need this?” might be doing more for your software than the person asking “Can we build it?”
“It depends” might be the most annoying answer in tech. When it comes to useful software, it might also be the right one.

✔ less knowledge loss
✔ lower technical debt
Partnership > handoff.
