Main success factor is speed of registration (individuals checking in)
1st priority is designing & testing a quick lookup system
Not dependent on database content
How much information do we want to store?
What kind of reports will be useful to staff
Only need basic GUI to test lookup
Martina provided sample data
Facebook Lookup aprox – 0.15 seconds
Google Lookup aprox seconds
