Deployment Discovery Framework
24 questions across 8 factors. Produces a directional hypothesis — on-prem, hybrid, or cloud — your leadership team can pressure-test. Not a verdict. Takes about 6 minutes.
Note: This framework is directional, not architectural.
The output is a starting hypothesis based on the tradeoffs your factors signal — not a deployment recommendation, an architecture review, or a substitute for input from your IT, security, and infrastructure teams. Deployment decisions are rarely monolithic; different components of your lab's workflow (LIMS, middleware, analysis pipelines, reporting) may have different right answers, and the component-level architecture work belongs with the teams who will own it.
HelixWrks Advisory's input on deployment is at the tradeoff level, in the context of E2E workflow and pre-implementation readiness — not at the architecture-decision level. Use this framework's output as one input into a structured conversation with your leadership and IT teams.
This output is directional, not prescriptive. It represents a starting hypothesis based on the factors you weighted — not a verdict on where your lab's infrastructure should live.
Evaluate by vertical: LIMS, middleware, analysis pipelines, and reporting may each have different right answers. A single deployment strategy for the whole lab is rarely the honest answer. Use this result as input to a component-level analysis, not a replacement for one.
