Define the outcome before the solution
Frame the operating problem, the people it affects, and the evidence that would demonstrate useful progress.
Bedrock. Connect the evidence, design, and requirements in one Solution Project. Give the team building it a clear account of what needs to change and why.

Connect interviews, documents, systems, and process evidence to a shared account of how the organization works today.
Relate applications, capabilities, teams, and dependencies. Follow an architectural choice back to the business need behind it.
Develop alternatives and inspect their assumptions, dependencies, and tradeoffs before committing to a direction.
Record the evidence, rationale, participants, and unresolved questions so delivery teams understand why the plan took its shape.
Connect the chosen approach to a roadmap, accountable work, and the source material teams need to carry it forward.
See how Meridian’s software factory connects the way work happens today to the system the team wants to build.
Map how an operating change moves through intake, requirements, implementation, and review. Give the team a common starting point.
Compare the target with today’s process. Connect the implementation Task and release decision so the design leads to accountable work.
Keep eight lithium requirements linked to their source bulletin, checks, and implementation. Reviewers can follow the business reason behind each change.

In practice
Meridian needs an application for managing operating changes. Its Solution Project connects the current process, target design, and eight lithium requirements to the Factory Control implementation. Engineering can build from that context while Operations and Compliance retain the decisions assigned to them.
