Remember, the network infrastructure that your business relies upon to conduct all your transactional interactions can just be thrown in to that space that you can't fit anything meaningful into. Also use the cheapest components and minimum viable products as you only need to buyโ€ฆ

When you work in network security, this is the kind of conversation you have on a daily, if not hourly, basis. Networking is still seen as witchcraft to some and in a lot of cases as there isn't a nice colourful GUI it remains unfathomable to some as to how a network could work.

Every IT environment has something similar, even if it's a patch lead put in over a door to 'test' connectivity only for the engineer to be told, it's working now, let's configure it and we can re-patch that later...
