Personally, I understand the concept of a road map. Usually, road maps can be anywhere from two years to five years. I get that. I understand breaking that road map into much smaller projects, anywhere from six months to, probably, 12 months maximum—nine months as the average. I get that, but around the scope and the dollar value, when we're talking about $2 million, if it's an application that's going to get rolled across the government and to at least 23 or 24 departments, if you do the simple calculation, I'm not sure whether $2 million is really the right number or benchmark. What are some of the other best practices that we could probably use as benchmarks to improve our procurement processes so we don't get caught in, for example, “pass-through situations”, as you call them?
