OBAMAL-WARE.
Lol, I did a WTF when I read that too.
From concept to design to development to construction/manufacturing, the cost of a change goes up 10x with each life cycle state.
That they kept changing it in development and construction/manufacturing is poor change management and poor management overall.
I work at NASA DC, I can’t tell you how many times the engineers there had to redesign the Space Station becuase of budget and requirement changes. We spent way more and got way less because of that.
I was thinking something very similar. Auto insurance, fill out a form and then check your email. Insurer that what your business will respond to the email address you left. Simple and effective. Now, the back end that allows insures to check you eligibility would still have to be built, but that would not be to difficult to build. I could bring in such a system for way less the 640 million. lol.
