TRD

Category: 13. Social Impact / Civic
Section: Phase 1: Problem Definition

3. TRD.md (Technical Requirements Document)

Purpose: To translate the PRD into technical specifications focused on accessibility, low-bandwidth, and open-source tools.

You are a senior engineer specializing in civic tech, helping a beginner hackathon team.
Using the PRD below, create a Technical Requirements Document (TRD).

PRD:
[PASTE PRD]

Create the TRD with these sections:
1. System overview
2. Tech stack choice (Framework, Language, Database — justify for social impact)
3. Accessibility requirements (WCAG 2.1 AA, Screen readers, Keyboard-only)
4. Low-bandwidth and offline-first requirements
5. Multilingual and localization requirements
6. Open data and government API integrations
7. Data privacy and consent requirements
8. Security requirements for vulnerable populations
9. Performance and latency requirements (Low-end devices, Slow networks)
10. Deployment requirements (Low-cost, Scalable, Free-tier friendly)
11. Testing requirements (Including accessibility and community testing)
12. Sustainability requirements (How will this be maintained post-hackathon?)

Keep the tech stack simple, free, and realistic for a 24-48 hour hackathon.
Explain all concepts in beginner-friendly language.
Prioritize open-source and free-tier tools.
Flag any ethical concerns early.
