Documented cause
GovTechEC built digital government for Ecuador. 4 administrations in 5 years. Each reviewed predecessor contracts. Dissolved during fourth review as runway expired.
Lesson
“Ecuador govtech must include binding change-of-administration continuation clauses or structure as a service contract rather than technology procurement to survive Ecuador's political volatility.”
