Questions to answer before you adapt it

  • Which parts are done by Hermes, and which need another service or a person?
  • What accounts, permissions, models and ongoing costs does it depend on?
  • What would a small, reversible first trial look like in your own setup?
  • What observable result would show that the trial worked?
