Scope
Workflows sequence enterprise steps under domain ownership. Prerequisites: Quick start and Modelling a domain.
Declare steps and handoffs
Name each step, its inputs, and who (or which adapter) advances it. Explicit handoffs reduce hidden coupling between kernels.
Encode failure paths
Document retries, compensations, and terminal failure states. Operators need the same vocabulary in APIs and runbooks.
Bind decisions
Attach decision automation only to steps that require policy evaluation. Keep explainability on when the product contract requires operators to defend outcomes.
