  In its 14 years, distributed ledger technology has attracted increasing
attention, investments, enthusiasm, and user base. However, ongoing doubts
about its usefulness and recent losses of trust in prominent cryptocurrencies
have fueled deeply skeptical assessments. Multiple groups attempted to
disentangle the technology from the associated hype and controversy by building
workflows for rapid prototyping and informed decision-making, but their mostly
isolated work leaves users only with fewer unclarities. To bridge the gaps
between these contributions, we develop a holistic analytical framework and
open-source web tool for making evidence-based decisions. Consisting of three
stages - evaluation, elicitation, and design - the framework relies on input
from the users' domain knowledge, maps their choices, and provides an output of
needed technology bundles. We apply it to an example clinical use case to
clarify the directions of our contribution charts for prototyping, hopefully
driving the conversation towards ways to enhance further tools and approaches.
