How to apply the framework.

Three steps to move from downloading the framework to designing your first inclusive integration architecture.

01

Assess Your Ecosystem

Before designing any integration pathway, use the assessment tool to map every stakeholder across the six dimensions. Understanding your ecosystem is the prerequisite for everything else. Do not design before you assess.

02

Design the Pathways

Use the framework documentation to design permanent integration pathways for each stakeholder level. Apply the governance templates to establish authoritative source designation, versioning, and conflict resolution rules before any development begins.

03

Build and Validate

Build each pathway and validate cross-level data consistency before launch. Use the HEMIS case study as a reference for common challenges, the language lesson, the economics reality, and the governance complexity that emerges in practice.
