Strategy

Prioritize a reusable integration capability hypothesis before choosing the implementation style.

Integration work often jumps too quickly to a technical pattern. This station keeps the team focused on consumer need, value, domain meaning, ownership, reuse potential, viability, assumptions, and validation before selecting APIs, events, files, streams, data products, direct integration, or hybrids.
