We need to decide on a path forward for how we will cerfify audits for the MVP in order to unblock design. We considered two options:
Option 1: Special roles/UX in the app to sign digitally - current, user-preferred solution defined more fully in GSA-TTS#319
Option 2: Copy solve to ask people to sign the PDF (lightweight solution)
We decided on Option 1 (Special roles/UX in the app to sign digitally) as we believe the engineering cost is justified to overcome the risks introdcued by option 2:
- Risk: Could lead to more audit churn if they are uploaded without signatures
- Risk: Could lead to more scanned PDFs being uploaded rather than searchable ones, slowing down auditors
We are moving forward with the caveat that we may consider some lighter-weight email notification system like a mailto link if we think sending emails directly from the app will be too challenging and not useful elsewhere in the app.
