      In my (Australian) public service career I have watched a team of 100 public servants deliver and keep updated a data capture and processing system

      A large American service company now does that job with four times the people. It took years to get them to add keyboard shortcuts to their product - the original was entirely mouse driven; and their product didn’t meet contrast rules for months
