How the work moves forward
Architecture follows the workload, trust boundaries, reliability targets, and operational ownership rather than a fixed deployment diagram.

Map the required data, systems, tools, owners, and sources of truth.
- 03
Govern
Apply access boundaries, review points, policies, and failure behavior.
- 04

- 05
Operate
Launch in stages, observe real usage, preserve evidence, and improve the workflow.
