This changes our formula slightly - specifically we may not be able to apply a UX flow to drive analysis since we're unsure of the implementation. Instead, we'll look at core behaviors that are indicative of success. Here's the modified formula: Ask clarifying questions State the goal of the feature **Apply a UX flow to drive a"

  • "My preference would likely be server-side deployment given the specification of millions of users. However, it is worth considering a hybrid model too; where basic, non-sensitive, and less compute intensive tasks are processed on the client-side, while the heavy-duty processing is done on the server side. The main advantage of client-side deployment is it can work in real-time and offline. It also significantly reduces the load on your servers, making it more efficient in handling other tasks. N"
