Purposedifferent
Shape-First Modeling defines data quality through shapes before implementation or integration frays at the edges. The approach fits when validation and data contracts should be part of the design from the start.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.Competency Questions translate a domain model into concrete questions that it must be able to answer. The method keeps the model's scope clean and prevents pretty but useless structures.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.
