Yeah, I think the proximal issue is that many govt. bureaucrats struggle to keep up with documentation requirements as-is. In some (many?) cases, it takes an exceedingly long time, else does not get done at all. But--it's possible that better access to open data and a stronger culture in govt. around using data-driven decision and policymaking could improve on this in the long run. Not to mention the fact that much of the pre-existing paperwork requirements could be automated (if implemented carefully).
