assumption-first-redesign

System redesign normalizes proposed changes into foundational assumptions to generate a clean-slate target architecture. It provides a realistic, incremental migration plan to transition from the current state without requiring a full rewrite.

An incremental migration plan bridges your current system to a clean-slate architecture by outlining step-by-step changes. It addresses complex architectural shifts and ownership boundary changes to ensure a smooth transition under new constraints.

An assumption-first refactoring approach is needed when new invariants or constraints mandate a fundamental architectural shift. It helps redesign the system as if these new capabilities or requirements were present from the start.

Migrating complex system boundaries without a full rewrite requires an incremental migration plan based on a clean-slate target architecture. This approach normalizes changes into foundational assumptions to handle ownership boundary changes gradually.

Yes, assumption-first redesign can re-architect data handling and access controls by treating strict regulatory requirements as foundational assumptions. It designs a clean target architecture and outlines the migration steps to achieve compliance.

Before starting an assumption-first redesign, you need a clear definition of the current system state, proposed changes, and constraints. This input allows the process to accurately normalize new assumptions and design the target architecture.
