Build a technology radar for an engineering team, categorizing technologies into Adopt/Trial/Assess/Hold quadrants following the ThoughtWorks Tech Radar format. Use when asked to create a tech radar, evaluate the team's technology landscape, categorize tools and frameworks, or establish a technology strategy. Produces a full tech radar with quadrant tables, individual blip rationales, a decision trail, and a maintenance process guide.

# Tech Radar
Produce a complete technology radar document for an engineering team. The radar gives the team a shared, explicit position on every significant technology in their stack — what to standardize on, what to experiment with, what to evaluate, and what to actively stop using. Follow the ThoughtWorks Tech Radar format: four quadrants (Techniques, Tools, Platforms, Languages & Frameworks) each with four rings (Adopt, Trial, Assess, Hold). Each technology entry ("blip") gets a ring assignment, a one-paragraph rationale, and a date. Include a decision trail showing what moved and why, and a maintenance process the team can run to keep the radar current.
## Required Inputs
Ask for these if not already provided:
- **Team or company name** — for the document header
- **Current tech stack** — list every significant technology, tool, language, and platform the team currently uses
- **Technologies under active evaluation** — tools or frameworks the team is currently trying or considering
- **Technologies to deprecate or move off** — anything the team wants to stop using or is actively migrating away from
- **Strategic technology bets** — any technologies the company has made a deliberate bet on (e.g., "we're all-in on Kubernetes" or "migrating to event-driven architecture")
- **Team context** — team size, product domain, and any constraints (regulatory, compliance, vendor lock-in concerns)
