# Pascal Bedrock

Turn the business problem into a buildable plan.

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.

## Capabilities

### Define the outcome before the solution

Frame the operating problem, the people it affects, and the evidence that would demonstrate useful progress.

### Build a source-linked current state

Connect interviews, documents, systems, and process evidence to a shared account of how the organization works today.

### Explore architecture in context

Relate applications, capabilities, teams, and dependencies. Follow an architectural choice back to the business need behind it.

### Compare possible futures

Develop alternatives and inspect their assumptions, dependencies, and tradeoffs before committing to a direction.

### Keep decisions durable

Record the evidence, rationale, participants, and unresolved questions so delivery teams understand why the plan took its shape.

### Turn direction into delivery work

Connect the chosen approach to a roadmap, accountable work, and the source material teams need to carry it forward.

## Connected context

Use Ontology, Compass, and Atlas to understand the current operation. Bring the team together in Workrooms, then connect the agreed requirements to implementation Tasks and the products needed to deliver them.

- Project briefs, source evidence, requirements, decisions, and risks
- Current processes, proposed designs, and implementation plans
- Version history, reviews, deliverables, and links to live resources

## Controls and permissions

Keep the plan, implementation, and approval decisions linked. Review the exact version being delivered, and verify the business result separately. Releasing an application does not approve every operating change it supports.

## Example

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.

## Workflow

### Make the current process explicit

- Map how an operating change moves through intake, requirements, implementation, and review. Give the team a common starting point.

### Design the next way of working

- Compare the target with today’s process. Connect the implementation Task and release decision so the design leads to accountable work.

### Carry the requirements forward

- Keep eight lithium requirements linked to their source bulletin, checks, and implementation. Reviewers can follow the business reason behind each change.

## Next steps

Bring one operating problem, its audience, and the evidence you already have. Define the target and the first change worth implementing.
