Entities
Orders, suppliers, shipments, customers, locations, contracts, tickets, and the other objects your workflow actually uses.
Operating model
A useful company model is smaller than an enterprise architecture map and richer than a data dictionary. It connects the records an agent can read with the process they belong to and the rules that determine the next step.
Discuss your use caseOrders, suppliers, shipments, customers, locations, contracts, tickets, and the other objects your workflow actually uses.
Which agreement applies to which account, which purchase order funds which receipt, and which promise belongs to which shipment.
Map system fields to the language operations, finance, procurement, and customer teams already share.
Mark which facts must be live, which can refresh periodically, and how stale data changes the answer.
Define repeatable calculations with visible inputs and breakdowns so a reviewer can contest one fact, not a black box.
Record who owns a rule, who may change it, and which team resolves an ambiguity.
Illustrative sample · Meridian Kitchens
A supplier invoice says “oak panel.” The purchasing system has two close matches, but only one is certified for the customer project.
Material substitutions on contract projects require the project buyer to confirm the mapped SKU.
The agent prepares the match and routes it to the project buyer instead of posting the invoice.
