Which of the following assumptions would make this requirement’s risk high?

Company A is a nation-wide leader in commercial demolition. Having just celebrated its 100th year of operations, the company decided to begin doing work internationally. The current system used for reporting company finances is unable to keep pace with the potential demands of doing work in geographically dispersed locations. Therefore, the company decided to replace its client-based Profit & Loss (P&L) reporting system with a more robust, web-based system. This will ensure transparency across the organization and enable better decision making.

The business analyst (BA) at Company A has recently completed several rounds of elicitation to determine the requirements for the new, web-based system. Over 1250 requirements were elicited.

An initial Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) has been drafted, and a subset of the RTM can be seen below:

A . The users will require specialized training.
B . The web-based interface will be complex.
C . The system will be inaccessible in remote locations.
