Feedback DD - Backend

Ref: https://github.com/CaseManagementAI/CommonAssessmentTool/wiki/Design-Document-%E2%80%90-Backend

What are the goals and non-goals (things that could be reasonably considered goals but are explicitly not)?

The doc needs to explain a detailed design of the backend. A few diagrams of the various subsystems that you plan to create and how they relate to the bigger picture of the system helps to give context. Some sketches of the API's and types of databases that you plan to use would be helpful too.

Also, it's important to discuss the tradeoffs in choosing one technology over another. For example, why RandomForest? Why Node framework? Have you considered other alternatives? This should be explained in a design document.

What about testing? How do we know that the model is sound and is producing useful results for the customer? What does a useful result look like?
