Open Government Products (under GovTech)

- main value proposition is that they can bypass aforementioned standards
- spends 1/12 of the year on "hackathons" churning out semi-useless vanity projects
- even after said hackathons, most useful products are still google forms, bitly and jekyll clones. so innovative.
- shuns anything touching the wog intranet , which is where > 95% of public officers pain points reside. and can still claim that they "listen" and "build for the user".
- is staffed disproportionately by psc scholars but claim they they are inclusive etc.
- only exists because of a certain someone with a certain relation

Difference is that OGP engineers are not issued with GSIB at all. Probably the only group of public servants who are like that.

They have been out of Govtech for a while now. Meaning they are not subject to all the IM8 policies. Prince himself said it online.
