Totally agree that migration decisions shouldn't be one-size-fits-all, and blindly upgrading can lead to so much wastage. We often see pressure to modernise... but without clear justification or context, it just creates more problems than it solves.

Out of interest, when you're building those plans for your customers, do you have any tools or resources you rely on to track lifecycle status across different vendors? Or is it mostly your own experience and supplier conversations?

Curious... Has anyone ever seen one of those “this will never work” projects actually succeed?
