Adea or asking a developer?
A developer almost always finds the answer. It just takes 15 minutes, interrupts something else and ends up as a Slack message nobody can find again. Adea takes the questions that can be answered from code and data and leaves the rest to the developers.

|---|---|---|
| Time to answer | Seconds | From minutes to days, depending on who has time |
| Cost per question | Part of the monthly price | A developer's time, typically 15 to 60 minutes |
| Answers can be reused | Saved and can be re-run | Rarely |
| Explains the rule | Yes, with sources | Yes, if the developer has time |
| Unresolved questions | Can be sent to a developer with what Adea found | That is the job |
| When the answer needs judgement | Suggests, the developer decides | The developer decides |

Frequently asked questions
Does Adea make developers redundant?
No. Developers approve the rules Adea uses and take the questions that need judgement. They just do not have to look up numbers.
What does it cost when a developer answers?
Try it: 40 questions a month at 15 minutes each is 10 hours. That is almost a working week every quarter.
