Domain Discovery Process

Step 1: Understand Context

Ask user:

1. •What business problem are we solving?
2. •What industry/domain are you in? (Banking, Insurance, Telecom, Healthcare, etc.)
3. •What regulatory jurisdictions apply? (Australia, NZ, EU, US, etc.)
4. •Are there specific industry standards to align with?

Step 2: Load Relevant Standards

Based on user's industry, load ONLY the applicable standards guidance:

Example:

User: "We're building a financial crime model for a bank in New Zealand"
AI: Loading BIAN and ISO 20022 standards...

Step 3: Load Relevant Regulators

Based on user's jurisdiction, load ONLY the applicable regulatory guidance:

Example:

User: "We need to comply with APRA and RBNZ requirements"
AI: Loading APRA, RBNZ, Basel, and FATF regulatory guidance...

Step 4: Identify Core Concepts

Ask user about key business concepts to model.

Use loaded standards to find mappings:

• •If BIAN loaded → Search for BIAN Business Objects
• •If ACORD loaded → Search for ACORD data models
• •If TM Forum loaded → Search for SID entities

Step 5: Propose Domain Structure

Create domain.md with:

• •Metadata block (include regulatory scope from loaded regulators)
• •Entity summaries with standard references
• •Governance metadata aligned with regulatory requirements

Step 6: Validate with User

Present domain summary and ask: "Does this capture the right concepts and scope for your {industry} domain in {jurisdiction}?"

Wait for approval before creating detail files.
