If it means delivering some checks to single mothers in sparsely populated neighborhoods citywide, it could be done with something as simple as a spreadsheet. The only common requirement to both task is the need for safety, accountability, and compatibility with /between parent and /or parallel systems.
How it's done in real life: some IT contractor creates an overly complicated stacked platform that does it all (ordered by some IT uneducated but ego infatuated ill informed client with a budget), excepted for the fact that the system is a smokescreen and does not all at all. The contractor then sells more platform access to some other like minded clients, which all have wildly different requirements. In the end, the do-it-all platform becomes a giant mess nobody understands, _X need_ budget allocations dissolves in contractor's hands, social security numbers are scrambled, and single mothers never get their checks.
- accountability: bureaucracies allow people to hind behind process and anonymity to shirk basically all responsibility.
- fairness: bureaucratic systems are usually designed with a particular type of person in mind and if you don't fit that mold, it will be hard to accomplish anything.
- throughput and latency: I don't even have to write anything here.
- longevity: this is something bureaucracies are actually good at -- propagating themselves.
- user friendliness: yeaah.
