Phase 1 Discovery Design
The discovery architecture for the pathway initiative: how information is gathered, filtered, and converted into design decisions.
The problem
Discovery conversations produced a large volume of opinion and very little that could be designed against.
What I designed
A funnel that moves deliberately from broad organizational context to function-level constraints to a small set of decisions, with each stage having its own instrument and exit criteria.

How the system fits together
