Problem

How would your technical decision differ if you had only 20% of the resources?

Asked in the Bar Raiser Round. Bar Raiser testing trade-off thinking under constraint.

Focus on what you would change in model choice, data pipeline, serving architecture, and evaluation. Call out which parts you would simplify, which metrics you would protect, and how you would avoid regressions when operating under a much smaller budget.
