 **Description**
 <!-- Provide a clear and concise description of the feature. -->
 This is a Proof of Concept. Here's a checklist that should help you consider often neglected aspects:-
+- [ ] should we implement a feature flag from the start?
 - [ ] should the PoC include any documentation such as ADR?
 - [ ] is it clear who will benefit from the PoC and how?
 - [ ] will the final implementation require any migration steps?
