Option C sounds interesting for a phased approach, but I'm concerned about whether rolling out in just one geography first is the best strategy for capturing market share quickly.

Ooh, this is a tough one! I'm torn between options B and D. Maybe the Solution Architect should just flip a coin and let fate decide. Or, they could just ask the Magic 8-Ball for guidance.
