Building internally can be right when a requirement is distinctive and the office can own engineering, security and maintenance over time.
A scoped implementation can test the missing workflow before a wider commitment. Compare total responsibility, vendor access, support and exit requirements, not only the first build cost.
Ask about source access, record ownership, review controls, maintenance and the path to export. Compare an agreed first workflow against the current process.

Review a new opportunity against your mandate. See the supporting evidence, material risks and questions for diligence.
