III. Assess the effectiveness, maturity and performance characteristics of different intervention, surveillance and outbreak-management technologies, including evidence of impact, operational limitations and suitability for deployment across diverse settings such as communities, healthcare facilities, care homes, schools and other educational establishments, custodial environments, travel and transportation hubs, and workplaces. IV. Understand the costs associated with the implementation, operation and maintenance of technologies across different deployment scenarios, including infrastructure, licensing, support, integration and user adoption requirements, to inform assessments of affordability and value for money. V. Understand suppliers' manufacturing, delivery and operational capacity (inclusive of lead times), including their ability to rapidly scale deployment during a national emergency, and identify key dependencies, risks, constraints and mitigation approaches that may affect resilience of supply.
