The model built from empty, with the reasoning narrated. The sequence: the class hierarchy, designed out loud before anything is built, with the class count justified against the four workshop questions; the regulated attributes, worked both ways before choosing; the engineering and commercial split, implemented as class security; attribute control levels, with lead time at organization level and the reasoning stated; the numbering recommendation, with a position taken; then classes, templates, the five-hundred-item load, the four seeded errors, and organization assignment; the custom status and the phase-out scenario; and the data quality plan for the twelve-thousand-four-hundred-item extract. Name the defensible alternatives. The regulated attributes can go in a dedicated class or in an attribute group applied to existing classes, and both are reasonable. The numbering question has a defensible answer either way — though one is much easier to sell to a shop floor. And the close. The class hierarchy…
