Can you work with the tools I already have instead of replacing them?
Usually yes, and that is normally the cheaper answer. The goal is one working system, not a specific vendor list — the right tools stay, the redundant ones go, and automation gets wired between what remains.
Ripping out a stack your team already knows is expensive twice: once to build, once to retrain. Replacement is worth it when a tool actively blocks the work or its data cannot be reached. Otherwise the win comes from connecting what you have.
The 24-hour plan says explicitly what to keep, what to cut, and what to wire together, so the decision is on paper before anyone spends money.
