Docs Site Platform Selection

Decides whether a developer documentation site should change platform, and which platform class and named product fit the team's authors, build owner, constraints, standing cost and exit cost. Use whenever someone asks which docs platform or docs static site generator to pick for developer docs, compares two docs platforms, is deciding whether or where to re-platform their docs, or weighs self-hosting docs against a hosted docs product - even if they only name two tools. Not for executing an already-decided migration or picking one component (search, API renderer, theme). Do NOT use for docs information architecture - use samber/developer-relations-skills@developer-docs-structure-audit; nor a developer portal console - use samber/developer-platform-skills@developer-portal-design.
