What problem does it solve?
Minimal Modeling provides a disciplined approach to design database schemas by separating business concepts from technical implementation, reducing cognitive load and aligning data structures with business needs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Two-Phase Process: Phase A focuses on logical modeling (anchors, attributes, links); Phase B translates the model into a physical SQL schema.
- Stakeholder Validation: Enables non-technical stakeholders to validate concepts before implementation.
- Deliverables: Logical model with identified anchors, attributes, and relationships plus a draft physical schema (table names, keys, and constraints).
Quick Start
Provide a brief business-domain description, then identify anchors, attributes, and links to build a complete logical model, and finally derive a physical schema with pluralized table names and keys.
