Do you actually know that the only source of the data is a static CSV? Or is that just speculation?

I think we can dispense with the risky argument, because this API has existed for years without issue.

When you make the argument that "X is too expensive," the onus is on you to prove it's expensive in a relative sense, not simply in an absolute sense. Saving $100 matters if you're spending $1000; it probably doesn't matter if you're spending $10m. Feel free to convince us: make some estimates, crunch some numbers, and look at existing NPS IT spending and see if they seem ballpark reasonable. Otherwise you're just banging on about a left-field solution that almost no one wants because it's putatively cheaper (but by how much, you can't say).
