A few years back, I had a friend in another department ask me to build a prototype tool help manage their team's work more efficiently. I told them very directly that this was a hastily built prototype to help them see if a business case was viable. 3 years later, their entire department still uses that prototype and they have a small contractor team that makes annual updates to it. Nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.
