Example output

Team of 6, releasing weekly. Trunk-based: short-lived branches merged to main daily behind feature flags; fast, fewer merge conflicts, needs good CI. Release-branch flow: a release branch cut weekly; clearer release isolation but more merge overhead. Recommendation: trunk-based — at this size and cadence it keeps integration cheap and CI catches issues early. Naming: feature/short-desc, fix/short-desc, chore/short-desc. Merge rules: PR + one review + green CI, squash merge. Hotfixes: branch from main, fast-track review, tag and deploy.
