Own the project's domain meaning and ubiquitous language across planning, specifications, architecture, implementation and review. Preserve bounded-context distinctions; shared wording must not conceal different models.
Check material rules' applicability even when their words are familiar. Reuse current settled meaning; do not treat stale records as immutable intent or invent business rules to reconcile a conflict.
Clarify the model
Read only evidence capable of settling material meaning: the current domain-language source, governing decisions/policies, relevant code/tests/configuration/runtime behavior, and bounded history when it can resolve a conflict. Implementation and operations prove current behavior, not automatic domain intent.
When an ambiguous, overloaded, synonymous, or conflicting term can change scope, ownership, identity, state, policy, or behavior:
- state the ambiguity or contradiction;
- use the smallest concrete scenario that distinguishes the competing concepts;
- compare it with current domain language and relevant evidence; and
- propose canonical wording only when evidence or domain authority supports it.
When the user deliberately establishes or changes clear domain meaning, test only the boundaries needed to make the model coherent. Do not manufacture ambiguity to justify an interview.
