  "id": "MLC-T-CMP-001031",
  "term": "Ripcording",
  "field": "Computing and IT",
  "definition": "The abrupt and decisive termination of a project, service, or legacy system without a phased transition or replacement. The action is taken quickly to cut losses, reduce security risks, or abandon a failing strategy, analogous to pulling the ripcord on a parachute. This approach contrasts with a planned decommissioning process that involves gradual data migration, user training, and parallel operation of old and new systems.",
