# E4 | anthropic/claude-opus-5 | run 1

## Prompt

Explain this to a non-technical manager in 2 sentences:

We need to refactor the monolith into microservices to reduce deployment coupling and improve our mean time to recovery.

## Response

Right now our software is one giant block, so every small change means re-releasing the whole thing — which is slow, risky, and forces teams to wait on each other. Splitting it into smaller, independent pieces lets teams ship updates on their own schedule and fix problems faster, because when something breaks we only have to repair one small part instead of the entire system.

Want a version that includes the cost and timeline trade-offs, since that's usually the manager's next question?
