- Technical instability during critical transactions causes session timeouts, which erodes user trust in the digital platform.
- Frequent mandatory updates block access to basic services, creating a barrier to daily usability for the user base.
The SWOT
- Centralized government service consolidation creates a high-utility barrier to entry
- Integration with digital wallet platforms would align with modern credential standards
- Implementation of biometric authentication would improve ease of access
