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.
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.
Can the AI-enabled workflow deliver the declared outcome reliably?
From model output to workflow evidence.
Outcome evidence
Evaluation
Lifecycle management
Workflow adoption
Operating capability
Evidence to look for Baselines, evaluation packs, release records, adoption signals, service ownership, and cost records.
Can the workflow consume governed context and act through stable interfaces?
Context and contracts make intelligence operable.
Context Product Contract and authority model
Governed vocabulary, metrics, entities, and source mappings
Temporal, assertion, policy, lineage, and compatibility rules
Permission-aware Enterprise Context Gateway
Tool, action, feedback, and reconciliation contracts
Evidence to look for Approved mappings and authority, gateway tool contracts, policy propagation, lineage, compatibility tests, action policies, and effect reconciliation. A graph database is optional; the governed semantic baseline is not.
Can the organization constrain, observe, recover, and prove operation?
Control is part of the product.
Identity and authorization
Data protection and privacy
Human control and safety
Evaluation and release
Evidence and observability
Incident, recovery, and redress
Evidence to look for Authorization decisions, stop tests, telemetry correlation, incident exercises, and redress records.
