This reminds me of a project I was remotely involved with: Airbus having to handle an aircraft order number above 5 digits as they were delivering their 10’000th aircraft to a customer.

This was a multi year project where we had to deliver software used to map risk and impact across the whole company.

Imagine the costs.

Yeah I mean I also get that aspect. We integrate with many systems, we have 18 different integrations with one of our larger customers, and we're just a small piece of the puzzle.

Would likely be super costly just to figure out which, if any, of the systems that would have to change.
