Problem
The operational pressure, actors involved, and what breaks when state is unclear or ownership is missing.

System shape
Actors, actions, state transitions, boundaries, and the minimum structure required for the workflow to stay legible.
Technical decisions
Trade-offs across stack, data model, deployment, and guardrails — including what was intentionally deferred.
Implementation
How the system was built in practice: modules, interfaces, tests, and the path from prototype to usable product.
Limitations
Known failure modes, assumptions, and constraints that still shape how the system should be evaluated.
Next iteration
What would change under more time, scale, or production pressure — and why that order matters.

System judgement
If you can't observe it in prod, you didn't ship it.
Deployment repeatability and failure visibility are product features.
