What this work demonstrates

Technology shaped
around the work.

A useful application starts with a clear understanding of the work: the inputs, decisions, exceptions and responsibilities that need to fit together.

For your business, that means defining a focused first phase, agreeing how it will be verified and planning who will operate it.
