Football Use Case

During a match

Fans never see a blank match screen.

Scores update every 15 seconds. If the feed slows or drops out, the match screen keeps the last score it had and marks it as updating, so nobody hits an empty page in the 89th minute. If one part fails, like stats, the score and the rest of the page stay up.

Your team sees the same picture from a matchday view that shows which screens are affected. And when the feed gets something wrong, an editor corrects it in the CMS and the correction sticks.
