CRM and sales decision
Savio
A competent engineer can build a useful, self-hosted feedback vault covering the core loop in a few weeks using existing libraries, but reproducing Savio's breadth of integrations, enterprise polish, and support would be costly.

Every project below is open source and already does this job today. Fork one, self-host it, or take the parts you need — the build prompt further down assumes an empty file, and this is the shortcut past that. Licences differ; check the one on each card before you ship.
What a replacement has to do
- Collect feedback from sources → store feature requests + requester metadata → surface/prioritize requests using customer/CRM attributes → update request status from dev tool and notify requesters (close the loop).
What it still won’t have
- Polished, maintained native integrations across 12+ tools
- Enterprise features: SLA, priority support, custom contracts, pay-by-invoice
- Built-in onboarding sessions and founder support
- Voting board SSO and advanced access controls
- GDPR/DPA/enterprise compliance assistance and contract templates
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Paying is—cheaper in year one.

What we assumed
The verdict above measures whether you could build it. This one is only about money.
Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal self-hosted feedback vault in Node.js (Express) + Postgres + React. Scope: webhooks and a small REST API to ingest feedback (email forward endpoint, Slack slash-command/webhook, Intercom webhook stub), DB tables for feature_requests, requesters, accounts (store MRR/plan), UI to list/filter/prioritize requests by count and account MRR, a simple voting board with option to hide counts, an integration to update request status from JIRA via a webhook, and a background job to send templated 'feature shipped' emails. Out of scope: enterprise billing, SSO, Segment/CRM full sync, advanced analytics dashboards, native mobile apps. Include error handling, input validation, basic unit tests for API endpoints, and Docker Compose for local dev.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time — so the same evidence always produces the same number.
