Analysis: SDD vs. FRD

Executive Summary & Recommendation

A comprehensive review of the Solution Design Document (SDD) against the Functional Requirements Document (FRD) is complete. The analysis concludes that the SDD provides a robust, well-architected, and thorough technical solution that successfully addresses virtually all specified requirements. The alignment is exceptionally strong, indicating a clear understanding of business needs and a sound technical strategy.

Recommendation: Proceed with High Confidence

The project can move forward based on this SDD. It is recommended to clarify the technical approach for one minor data transformation scenario prior to the development phase.

Proposed System Architecture

This diagram illustrates the multi-tiered architecture proposed in the Solution Design Document. It separates concerns into Presentation, Business Logic, Data, and Integration layers. Hover over any component to learn more about its role in the system.

PRESENTATION LAYER
BUSINESS LOGIC LAYER
DATA LAYER
INTEGRATION LAYER
Power Pages (Notifier)
Primary interface for external users to report and initiate investigations.
Dynamics 365 CRM (Investigator)
Comprehensive interface for internal investigators to manage, review, and complete investigations.
Dynamics 365 Customizations
Includes enhancements to core forms, custom entities, and workflows.
North52 Business Rules Engine
Centralized system for defining, managing, and executing complex business rules and validations.
Validation & Repetition Control
Enforces data integrity, ensures compliance, and prevents redundant investigations.
Microsoft Dataverse
The foundational data store for all investigation entities, configurations, and audit trails.
HASANA Management App
Dedicated application for superusers to manage system configurations and master data.
Power Automate
Facilitates automated workflows, data synchronization, and integration.

Requirement Alignment Matrix

The Solution Design Document shows strong alignment with all key functional areas defined in the FRD. Click on any card below to see the detailed analysis for that area.

Gap Analysis & Area for Clarification

A minor gap was identified regarding historical data handling. The FRD requires that when a free-text field is converted to a dropdown, old text values must be preserved as read-only. The SDD acknowledges data migration but should explicitly detail the technical solution for this specific scenario to ensure full data integrity.

Security & Access Control Matrix

Access is strictly controlled through a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model. The matrix below outlines the Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) permissions for key roles. Hover over a role for a brief description.
