Rules, terms, processes and data relationships sit inside layers of programs and technical execution.
Recover business meaning before deciding what should change, what should remain and what the organization should fund.
Discovery 1.0 is the read-only first module. It recovers what exists. The broader Workbench is designed to let people validate that model and, in later modules, add, modify, retire or delete knowledge while preserving the evidence and history.
Rules, terms, processes and data relationships sit inside layers of programs and technical execution.
Business meaning is separated from technical behavior and connected back to the source that supports it.
Business and technology experts resolve ambiguity, confirm intent and shape one shared model.
Teams can keep, change, add or retire logic before committing budget and implementation effort.
A technical inventory establishes what is present and how it connects. Discovery explains what it means to the business by linking business language to programs, data elements and source code.
Terms, business rules, technical evidence, data and programs remain connected.
Technology can recover and connect the evidence. Experienced people decide which statements express the business and what should happen next.
The source provides proof. Recovered statements remain connected to the code and data that support them.
People provide judgment. They distinguish business rules from technical execution and resolve what the source alone cannot explain.
The Workbench preserves the result. Validated rules, terminology, processes and relationships remain available even when the platform changes.
Validated program understanding becomes actionable stories and acceptance criteria.
Instead of asking each new team to read the code and reconstruct its meaning again, the same validated knowledge that explains the current application informs requirements, acceptance criteria and what should be built next.
Explore the platformBegin with an agreed set of complete programs and supporting artifacts, then review the recovered evidence with the people who know the business.
