Verification: All capture points have validation rules

2aStructureL2 → L310 weeks

Vendor: PostgreSQL + schema registry

Verification: Cross-references queryable via SQL

2bAccessibilityL1 → L312 weeks

Vendor: Custom REST API layer

Verification: API coverage ≥ 90% of structured data

3aMaintenanceL2 → L38 weeks

Vendor: DataOps monitoring suite

Verification: Freshness SLA enforced, alerts on staleness

3bIntegrationL2 → L310 weeks

Vendor: Event bus (Kafka/RabbitMQ)

Verification: Cross-system query returns consistent results

Top Risks

Accessibility build blocked by undocumented legacy APIs

Likelihood: HighImpact: Phase 2 delays 4–6 weeks

Mitigation: Parallel API audit in Phase 1; fallback to batch sync

Schema migration breaks existing reporting

Likelihood: MediumImpact: Rollback + 2-week rework

Mitigation: Shadow schema approach; dual-read period before cutover

Team capacity conflict with BAU workload

Likelihood: HighImpact: All phases slip 20–30%

Mitigation: Ring-fence 2 FTE; contractor backfill for BAU

How We Assess

This service follows from Deployment Gap Analysis or Infrastructure Diagnostic. You know WHAT to build (dimensions, levels). This defines HOW to build it.

We specify build work at execution level: which tools, which vendors, which sequence, which team structure. Detailed enough that your team or contractors can execute.

Includes risk mitigation: where builds typically stall, what dependencies get missed, how to de-risk each phase.
