A spec that doesn't get signed protects no one. Here's how agencies structure technical specifications that move projects forward instead of stalling them.
A hands-on comparison of Typesense, Meilisearch, and Algolia for production SaaS search: self-hosting, performance, pricing, and real implementation patterns.
