Purpose and reader
[Business outcome, intended reader, architecture altitude and the question this view answers.]
Familiar starting point
[Ordinary business situation or known security practice. Explain what AI changes and where an analogy stops.]
Scope and limits
[What this view covers, adjacent disciplines, assumptions, what remains unknown.]
Architecture and relationships
| Element ID | Exact label | Purpose | Inputs and outputs | Responsibility and authority | Failure behavior |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [ID] | [label] | [purpose] | [I/O] | [function; proposed ownership] | [behavior] |
| Connector ID | From → to | Exact label | What passes or relates | Required interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [ID] | [IDs] | [label] | [request/evidence/permission/result/dependency] | [meaning and limits] |
[Explain shared bands, boundaries, all exceptions, feedback, recovery authority, off-diagram paths and dependencies on sibling views.]
Proposed decisions
| Decision ID | Choice | Reason | Alternative and tradeoff | Revisit condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [ID] | [choice] | [reason] | [credible alternative] | [observable trigger] |
Worked example
[Use the series' recurring example when it fits. Show normal operation, an adverse or ambiguous case, authority for each consequential action, and how the outcome is confirmed.]
Architect detail
[Explain each element's operation, controls, interface expectations, limitations and questions. In a separate guide, preserve element IDs and links to the canonical source. Label added implementation detail.]
Validation and unanswered questions
| Scenario or requirement | Evidence that would support acceptance | What remains environment-specific |
|---|---|---|
| [case] | [testable observation; no implied test completion] | [decision/value/owner] |
Visual contract and accessible description
[Exact visible copy, reading order, topology, arrow direction, color/line semantics, dimensions target, status/footer and deliberate omissions. Use plain text that fully explains the diagram without seeing it.]
Sources
[Primary source links, publication and checked dates, draft/interim status, exact claim supported, verification limits. Distinguish sourced facts from author design proposals.]
Production and review record
[Declared input version; prompt/renderer link; actual dimensions/page count; visual/text checks; reader comprehension assessed or not assessed; review snapshot and open findings. Do not claim acceptance or testing that did not occur.]
