The exact sections inside the download.
Map the flow
Trace the trigger, reads, decision, interface, handoff, and resulting system-of-record change.
Control the write
Define authorization, validation, approval, idempotency, reconciliation, and the evidence needed for each consequential action.
Design for exceptions
Record failure modes, duplicate prevention, retry boundaries, human resolution, rollback, and post-exception learning.
Integration design
Summarize the systems, owners, and controlled handoffs in the proposed workflow.
Exception path
Record the highest-risk exceptions, their owners, and the safe resolution path.
Implementation gate
Name the remaining dependency, validation evidence, and decision required before build.
01 / 03
Frame the decision
Name the real operating need before designing a solution.
Name the trigger, systems of record, users, and expected outcome.
State what the workflow may create, update, route, or only recommend.
Name who resolves missing data, conflicting records, failed actions, or duplicate work.
How to use it
Start with one real decision.
Complete the canvas with the workflow owner, then use the blank areas to expose missing context and controls.
