{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"In practice, discovery for a government digital services project starts by clarifying who the users are, what problem they face, and what constraints \u2014 governance, accessibility, security, and publishing workflows \u2014 shape the solution. We map current services and data flows, review how content would be published and updated, and identify key dependencies and risks. We then test ideas through small, iterative design and technical exploration, focusing on an evidence-led approach and user-centered outcomes.
