Start with the existing landscape
Organizations already hold valuable information in architecture models, inventories, and source systems. The starting point is to bring those perspectives into a useful conversation while respecting the scope and meaning of each source.
Make relationships understandable
An application, a server, and a business service tell different parts of the same story. Looking at their relationships helps teams move beyond isolated records toward a clearer understanding of the landscape.
Keep uncertainty visible
Evidence can be incomplete or change over time. A useful enterprise view makes room for those limits. It supports review and judgment rather than presenting every collected observation as a verified conclusion.
