II. Use Case Overview

A brief description of what the Use Case seeks to achieve within the context of the POC. This section outlines high-level goals and the scope of the POC.

  • Goal: Establish a verification method for the proposed solution.

  • Scope: Limit the POC to key functionalities to showcase basic capabilities and benefits.

III. Actors

Identify all the actors who interact with the system, defining their roles within this Use Case.

Actor

Role

[USER/SENDER]

Primary user initiating the use case actions

System

Responds to actions performed by [USER/SENDER]

IV. Pre-Conditions
