Purpose, scope, and usage guidance for the internal Business Wiki.

The Business Wiki is the Monolith's internal memory layer for non-transactional knowledge.

  • Capture stable context that matters across many workflows.
  • Prefer concise, specific pages over long dumping-ground notes.
  • Keep transactional evidence in the operational systems; use the wiki for enduring understanding.
  • Use an indexed drill-down shape: top-level map pages first, then more specific pages underneath.
  • Keep the wiki as an overlay above Monolith rather than a shadow copy of Monolith internals.

Useful categories include:

  • key clients and suppliers
  • relationship context
  • internal processes and decision patterns
  • known caveats in systems or data flows
  • commercial rules of thumb and operational exceptions
