    Thoughtworks has published its Technology Radar since 2010 and now twice a year - volume 33 appeared in November 2025 - sorting technologies into adopt, trial, assess and hold from blips submitted by client project teams and curated by an internal group. An enterprise copies the artefact: the same four rings, a page per technology, published quarterly by a central architecture team of five. Two years on, teams do not consult it before choosing tools. What did the copy leave out, and where would copying the original be a mistake?
