I wonder if asking the government for a flexible approach could backfire. It seems risky, but maybe it could lead to better collaboration?

I think we practiced a similar question where the BA had to consider stakeholder dynamics. I feel like employing a standard level of formality might be too rigid here.

I'm not sure if a formal approach is the best way to go. It might alienate the private company, but I guess it could work for the government side.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is describing a specific scenario, but I'm not sure which of the answer choices best fits. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about how they relate to the situation.
