Solution-based requirements define specific functionalities or characteristics that a proposed system or service must possess to address a particular problem or achieve a desired outcome. Unlike functional requirements, which describe what the system does, solution-based requirements specify how the system will achieve those actions, often detailing technical components, architectural patterns, or specific technologies. In crypto, this might involve mandating the use of a particular blockchain or a specific type of smart contract.
Mechanism
The mechanism for formulating solution-based requirements involves translating high-level business needs into concrete technical specifications. This process requires a deep understanding of available technologies and their capabilities. For instance, if the business goal is immutable transaction records, a solution-based requirement might mandate a permissioned blockchain using a specific consensus algorithm. These requirements guide system designers in selecting appropriate architectural components and development frameworks.
Methodology
The methodology for managing solution-based requirements includes a thorough analysis of current technological capabilities and market offerings to identify optimal implementation strategies. It emphasizes clarity and precision in defining technical constraints and dependencies, ensuring proposed solutions are both feasible and aligned with the existing infrastructure. Iterative validation with technical stakeholders confirms these requirements are both achievable and effectively address the underlying problem, minimizing rework and ensuring system interoperability within the broader digital asset ecosystem.
A two-stage hybrid RFP is advantageous for complex projects where technical requirements are unclear, allowing for collaborative solution design before a final, competitive bid.
A hybrid RFP allocates risk as a managed, shared variable within a collaborative system, while a traditional RFP transfers it as a static liability to the vendor.
A hybrid RFP is advantageous when procuring complex, innovative solutions where collaborative discovery yields greater value than pure price competition.
A four-gate hybrid RFP is optimal for complex, high-risk procurements where progressive validation of solution viability and partnership fit is critical.
