I don't think your simple plan will ever come up with something that covers all the requirements in finite time.
How long do you think it takes "3-5 teams" to prototype something covering even a miniscule amount of the above?
This is not surprising though, SV always thinks it has some idea how to solve government scale problems, but most "problem solving" in SV is done by eliminating the customers you don't want to care about.
- pas 10y agoAll I claimed was that the "product development" should not cost 900M USD. But this is a communications campaign, a PR/PSA whatever, and recruitment and so on. The actual IT systems for the census seem to be in-house developed by the Census Bureau. (Or at least the prototype was, and it's already in place.)
