When is a troubled capital project actually recoverable?
Recovery depends less on restoring the original plan than on whether remaining value can justify the cost and complexity ahead.
Strategic challenges
Can a web application evolve quickly without becoming structurally fragile?
The challenge is maintaining modularity, performance and testability as features, integrations and user expectations expand.

We frequently see supplier assessments overlook the shared technologies, facilities and upstream dependencies that determine actual continuity.
