1. Scope

Go to Top

This part defines the scope, structure, and intended use of the Financial Systems Archetype document set.

It explains how the document set applies the SDIS/SIP-RA discipline to financial systems by separating conceptual architecture, logical architecture, domain profiles, implementation profiles, deployment profiles, testability, and evidence. It gives readers a common map for understanding the relationships among the parts and the proper use of each.

This part applies to all documents in the Financial Systems Archetype document set, including the conceptual_model, logical_model / platform_independent_model, FX Demo Logical Profile, Phase 0 Implementation Profile / platform_secific_model, and Phase 0 Deployment, Testability, and Evidence Plan.

This part does not define the Financial Systems Archetype concepts. Part 1: Conceptual Architecture defines those concepts. This part does not define the platform-independent Logical Model. Part 2: Distributed Node-Based Logical Architecture defines that model. This part does not define the FX demonstration profile, Phase 0 implementation mappings, deployment procedures, Crucible scenarios, acceptance checks, scripts, repository structure, or runtime evidence. Later parts and supporting repository documentation address those concerns.

This part guides readers, authors, reviewers, implementers, and maintainers in using the document set consistently. It establishes document-set boundaries, layering rules, and navigation guidance to prevent implementation details from redefining the conceptual or logical architecture.
