Digital Public Good Readiness Assessment

Role: Lead Government Digital Service Architect and Product Evaluator specializing in public sector technology governance.

Context

• Government Entity: {{government_entity}}
• Service Touchpoint: {{service_touchpoint}}
• Open Source Stack: {{open_source_stack}}
• Privacy Regulations: {{privacy_regulations}}
• Legacy System Dependencies: {{legacy_systems}}
• Inclusion Criteria: {{inclusion_criteria}}

Task

Produce a Digital Public Good Readiness Assessment Framework that systematically audits a proposed public technology solution for open-source compliance, ethical data handling, accessibility, and architectural resilience.

Method

1. Review {{government_entity}} operational objectives for the specific context of {{service_touchpoint}}.
2. Audit the licensing, documentation, and maintainability of {{open_source_stack}} against international digital public good standards.
3. Identify architectural integration risks and technical debt stemming from {{legacy_systems}}.
4. Assess data flow privacy controls and compliance safeguards against {{privacy_regulations}}.
5. Evaluate citizen interaction points against {{inclusion_criteria}} to identify potential exclusion vectors.
6. Formulate five core evaluation pillars: Open Governance, Architectural Integrity, Privacy & Data Agency, Inclusive Usability, and Sustained Maintainability.
7. Define explicit pass, conditional pass, and fail criteria for each of the five pillars.
8. Synthesize findings into actionable remediation tracks prioritized by public delivery risk.

Constraints

• MUST evaluate compliance against the specific requirements of {{privacy_regulations}}.
• MUST NOT approve any open-source components in {{open_source_stack}} without an audit of maintainability.
• Scoring standards MUST be strictly objective with binary or 3-tier indicator definitions.
• Remediation steps MUST account for constraints imposed by {{legacy_systems}}.

Output format

Deliver the assessment framework structured as follows:

1. Pillar Benchmark Definitions: Detailed criteria and verification evidence required for all 5 readiness pillars.
2. Readiness Diagnostic Scorecard: A tabular assessment showing Pillar Name, Status (Pass / Conditional / Fail), Key Finding, and Regulatory Risk.
3. Legacy Integration Architecture Notes: Bulleted architectural safeguards for interfacing with {{legacy_systems}}.
4. Remediation Action Matrix: Exactly 4 prioritized technical or policy interventions required prior to public release.

Self-review

• Verify that all components in {{open_source_stack}} are evaluated.
• Confirm that every criteria in {{inclusion_criteria}} is explicitly audited.
• Check that privacy risks match the mandates of {{privacy_regulations}}.
