Rules

• The Domain Model, use cases and user stories use the PO term; the Operation Contract, Sequence Diagram, Design Class Diagram and ERD use the IT term.
• One IT term per PO term and one PO term per IT term; no synonyms.
• Run, ToolCheck, PreflightResult and PromptSet appear in OC-001 but have no PO term: they are system concepts, not domain concepts, and are not in the Domain Model.
• A new concept in a Domain Model gets a row here in the same change.
