When I wrote about pricing ourselves out of Drupal projects, that led me to explore how Kubernetes orchestration could transform development team coordination.
Here's what I learned from moving beyond the original pricing problem. We evolved from simple "guidance" ideas to systematic orchestration that addresses multiple market challenges: offshore communication breakdowns, unsustainable pricing, and the false choice between quality and cost.
I'll present the systematic orchestration framework we're developing. Complexity-driven resource allocation that matches task requirements to developer expertise. Four-tier coordination systems that maintain quality while optimizing costs. Partnership frameworks that solve these problems through technical architect mediation.
This framework challenges broken industry economics by building systematic solutions to coordination problems.
