The following are verbal clarifications to the original requirements set out in the 2021-fall-kick-off presentation. These have been taken into account in our problem analysis and solution design.
| Clarification Id | Clarification | Source |

| 01 | There is no tight feedback loop, as there is normally when architecting a solution, so it is part of the challenge to get clarity into the architecture as the judges cannot ask questions. | Kata Kick-Off Event Q&A |
| 02 | Clinics only integrate with Farmacy Family, not Farmacy Food. | Kata Kick-Off Event Q&A |
| 03 | Security/Authentication: yes, medical data integration with clinics is on on permission of the customer | Kata Kick-Off Event Q&A |
| 04 | What is the IT department of the pharmacy foods? startup so has one, make reasonable assumptions | Kata Kick-Off Event Q&A |
| 05 | Community is the priority feature. | Kata Kick-Off Event Q&A |
| 06 | Off The Shelf is an option if it meets the requirements. There are trade-offs with this. | Kata Kick-Off Event Q&A |
| 07 | There are new requirements compared to Farmacy Foods, so the solution may require something on-prem or not in AWS. | Kata Kick-Off Event Q&A |
| 08 | If there is justification the Farmacy Foods architecture can be modified. Indicate it and use ADRs. | Kata Kick-Off Event Q&A |
| 09 | For integration with 3rd party providers, can we assume any protocol, mechanism such as REST or is there any specific requirement here? No specific requirements, just document why. | Kata Kick-Off Event Q&A |
