03 · The reusable foundation

Reusable capabilities convert enterprise intent into controlled value.

Data, AI, Integration, and Assurance converge around an owned workflow, connecting enterprise priorities to permitted effects, operating evidence, and portfolio decisions.

BUSINESS ARCHITECTURE

Business value depends on explicit capability handoffs.

The architecture traces enterprise intent through the four capability domains to a controlled effect, operating evidence, and the subsequent portfolio decision.

CAPABILITY DOMAINS

Four domains define reusable capability.

Can the required data support the outcome and operating mode?

Governed facts before model confidence.

  • Ownership and contract
  • Quality and fitness
  • Provenance and lineage
  • Accessibility and semantics
  • Resilience and recovery

Evidence to look for Data-product contracts, quality tests, lineage, access decisions, and recovery exercises.

D/A/I/S converge around an owned workflow.

Data, AI, Integration, and Assurance connect an owned outcome to a permitted effect and the operating evidence people need to learn.

Educational boundary

This educational business architecture does not establish readiness, prescribe a target state, or create a customer roadmap.

DAIS-owned Archify architecture specification; public educational sidecar; no customer or assessment data.
Four capability lenses

Explore the questions that make a capability reusable.

Each lens keeps its question, capability conditions, and evidence examples separate.
