Case B — FinTech Startup:
Building a novel real-time trading tool with proprietary algorithms. Needs
differentiation, low latency, and IP control. Two senior engineers in-house; investors
want an MVP in 6–9 months.
•
Case C — Gov Agency Modernization:
Large agency replacing a 15-year-old HR system. Heavy legacy integration, strict dataresidency, 24/7 support, rollout in 12 months across regions. Limited internal
development capacity but stable funding.
Deliverable: For each case, (1) pick one approach, (2) rank the top two alternatives,
