The project was divided into two stages:
<aside> 🌟 1. Proof of Concept (POC). It is about it that we are going to talk
</aside>
<aside> 🧑💻 2. Development. But for that to happen, the internal team responsible for the project will present the POC to the board to be evaluated and considered for funding. It is a super strategic project and very well seen, everyone was very excited about the proposal.

I left the company before the second stage took place, but I discovered that it was given the green light for development.
Gathering the necessary information is a long and costly process, it is necessary to coordinate a multidisciplinary area with several stages and suppliers to arrive at a proposal.
The project consists of several stages, each of which may have more than one supplier. It is technical information, dense, and many steps are connected with each other.
Our target is engineers and we quickly discovered the need for them to have access to the entire rationale of the values presented. So it's not just displaying a final number, but showing how it got there.
On a daily basis, they receive reports from suppliers in different formats and organize them in different spreadsheets. As many steps are dependent on each other, versioning and revising the information in it are extremely important and time-consuming steps.
