Years-long decline before final shutdown · Fatal mistake: Peru govtech procurement required SEACE registration, OSCE certification, and 3-year financial statements. GovTechPE certified but government IT budgets directed to Microsoft (nationwide contract), IBM Peru, and SAP. CEPLAN digital platform covered strategic planning. Six presidential changes 2016-2022 disrupted budget continuity.
Evaluating only GovTechPE’s profile at its peak — without knowing the outcome — the model ranked Regulation as the #1 likely cause. That’s exactly how it died.

Documented cause
GovTechPE got SEACE certification. Peru had 6 presidents 2016-2022. Microsoft/IBM/SAP held government IT. Budget continuity impossible under rotating administrations.
Lesson
“Peru govtech must target municipal governments (195 provinces, 1,874 districts) rather than national ministry procurement — local governments have discretionary IT budgets outside Microsoft/SAP framework agreements and are less affected by presidential rotation.”
