Planning an integration failure path

The mapping step example highlights a different part of the process: normalise currency. State the source of truth and transformation rule for each critical field. Document what happens when a dependency is unavailable. Compare it with analytics store before assuming that both items require the same response.

Work through the specimen

A connection diagram can show endpoints while omitting the meaning of the fields that cross between them.

Example: Mapping step

The illustrative record contains normalise currency. Its state is transform. Ask what evidence supports that state, which detail is still uncertain and whether the next person could understand it without reading a separate message thread.

Questions for a working review

A small exercise

Take one recent integration planning example from your own process. Write its context without using a status label, then add the label separately. If the two contradict each other, investigate the source before updating the record. Compare the result with “Analytics store” in the demonstration to see which distinctions your process needs.

These are planning notes. The specimen is illustrative, and the preview does not process live work.
