Business‑technical Translation in Fintech Projects: Bridging Kpis with Engineering Execution

Fintech projects are highly competitive and regulated and the success of organizations is evaluated using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of businesses, including the success rates of transactions, the reduction of fraud, operational performance and customer satisfaction. Nevertheless, the continuous problem with such projects is that the definition of KPIs on the strategic level is not connected with their realization through engineering implementation. The consequence of this misalignment is common in local optimization, technical debt, and inability to generate desired business value despite high technical performance. This gap is the subject of this paper as the issue of business–technical translation in fintech projects is considered. The study, based on the conceptual-analytical approach, which is founded on interdisciplinary literature, constructs a systematic framework that breaks down business KPIs into intermediate goals and correlates them with engineering-level goals and practices throughout the project lifecycle.
