I often wonder how accurate the roadmap prioritization can be. I do agree itβs pretty silly to build a lot of infrastructure that will never effect your clients.
If you have for instance a billing process that needs to be automated, custom infrastructure is needed. Manual approvals of all transactions is a lot even for banks. Operations can always benefit from something that cuts their overhead time down a significant chunk. Operations approval on transactions seems like an operations problem but clients having to wait for approval means now the problem is shifted.
