Bigger workflow
If this app opens up a bigger problem
The app may solve a concrete job immediately. If it exposes a larger operational, web, or content problem behind it, these are the closest practical routes.
Operational systems

Web platforms
If this direction points toward a portal, stronger web layer, SEO surface area, or client-facing interface, this is the closest next route.
