| In the context of vendor evaluation, what does the 'Technical Deep-Dive' session assess? | Whether the vendor identifies requirements the client has not yet specified. |
| Term: SCIM 2.0 | Definition: A standard for automating user provisioning and deprovisioning to ensure security when employees leave an organization. |
| What is the primary function of a 'Quarterly Domain Intelligence Review'? | To provide the client with a briefing on regulatory changes, tech developments, and competitive movement. |
| In the Fintech domain, 'PCI-DSS' compliance is primarily concerned with _____. | securing the cardholder data environment |
| What is the estimated cost of retrofitting HIPAA audit logging if it is not built into the architecture from the first sprint? | Between $\$60,000$ and $\$200,000$. |
| What specific architectural diagram must be present in a Mobisoft architecture document to show external system data flows? | A system context diagram. |
| In the logistics domain, what does 'conflict resolution' refer to in offline-first apps? | Managing cases where the server state has changed while the driver's device was offline. |
| According to the source, what is the most effective signal for predicting a software vendor's delivery reliability? | The post-launch client retention rate for more than two years. |
| In the 'Three-Layer Commitment Model', which aspect of the product scope is considered 'Adaptable'? | Feature prioritization based on new learning. |
| What is 'SAST/DAST' in the context of Mobisoft's security stack? | Security testing tools (Static/Dynamic Application Security Testing) integrated into the CI/CD pipeline. |
| Why does Mobisoft recommend against hiring engineers from IT services backgrounds for product development? | Product development requires a culture of building what the product needs (engineering) rather than just following a spec (IT services). |
| In healthcare engineering, what standard covers clinical scheduling and interoperability between electronic health records (EHR)? | HL7 FHIR R4. |
| What tech stack is used for the Backend API in Mobisoft's full-stack model? | Node.js 20 with NestJS or Python 3.12 with FastAPI. |
