Typical Discovery

Reference architectures

Architecture—not screenshots.

Why this architecture. Citizen identity, case state, and immutable audit must sit at the centre—not as afterthoughts.

Engineering decisions

Reasoning over tool lists.

Why PostgreSQL?

Transactional integrity and auditability beat novelty when money, cases, or clinical state are on the line.

Why Azure?

Institutional hosting preferences and identity federation often decide the cloud—not fashion.

Why Event-Driven?

Reporting, notifications, and integrations fail safely when work is queued with ownership of retries.

Why Offline First?

Field operations cannot pause for connectivity; sync contracts are part of the product.

Why Modular Architecture?

Business units change at different speeds; modules absorb change without rewriting the platform.
