FAQ
How detailed should enterprise diagrams be?
Keep them high-level: capabilities, systems, and key data products. Link to deeper docs instead of cramming details.
Can AI help with roadmap storytelling?
Yes. Provide milestones, risks, and dependencies so AI can render a simple target-state path.
How do I avoid endless revisions?
Lock a prompt template and refresh quarterly. Keep diffs small and traceable.
