Which of the following is NOT a consequence of Correctness in technology?

• A. Increasing level of Competition
• B. Communication is faster and Easier
• C. Changes to who competitors and stakeholders are
• D. Increased regulatory burden and compliance

Answer: (D)

Correctness in technology means producing outputs that are accurate, reliable, and aligned with what the system is intended to do. When a system is correct, users can trust the results, which supports smoother and faster communication because information is less likely to be misinterpreted or require clarifications. This reliability can also change the competitive landscape: firms that deliver correct, dependable technology can gain advantage, attracting customers and partners and potentially shifting who the main competitors are. It can also alter who counts as a stakeholder, as new users or collaborators become involved due to the dependable capabilities.

However regulatory burden and compliance come from external rules, laws, and governance requirements. While a correct system may help an organization meet those rules more easily, correctness itself does not inherently create more regulatory overhead.
