To map domain boundaries, you define what each business area owns, explicitly excludes, its key actors, and key events. This clarifies system architecture by structuring unfamiliar domains into a decision-ready map that distinguishes custom capabilities from reusable off-the-shelf tools.

A domain canvas is a structured document mapping business domains, their boundaries, relationships, and classifications. You need it for system architecture design when evolving business areas require clear build boundaries to stop teams from guessing about domain ownership and interactions.

Classify core versus generic domains by analyzing domain descriptions alongside workspace artifacts like events and actors. This classification recommends which domains justify custom plugin development versus standard off-the-shelf tools, guiding your plugin planning and build strategy decisions.

Yes, expert review validates domain modeling by dynamically loading relevant domain experts to incorporate their corrections before finalizing the canvas. This review loop ensures your domain boundaries, classifications, and relationship mappings are validated by experts before being written to the workspace.

A limitation of domain classification is that it relies on initially discovered domain descriptions or workspace artifacts like events and actors. If these initial inputs are incomplete or ambiguous, the accuracy of your core versus generic domain recommendations and relationship mappings may suffer.
