Week 8 — Friday S1

Month 2 done. Which scenario felt a little too close to home?

Eight weeks in.

This month:

A council running permits on Access 2003.

The hidden cost of a system that can't integrate with anything.

A COBOL developer and an 18-month regulatory deadline.

Why 'technical debt' is probably the wrong frame.

The Access scenario got the most recognition in replies - not just from councils. Small businesses. Property management. Professional services.

The system changes. The situation doesn't.

Which of the four felt closest to your situation?

And - is there a scenario we haven't covered that you'd want to see?

Replies genuinely shape what we cover next.
