Describe the job of each tool
For each asset, record the audience, inputs, outputs, owner, and actual availability. Distinguish a design, a toolkit, a private workspace, and a released service.
Choose the authoritative record
Identify where client, document, task, and decision records belong. Other tools should reference that record through a defined interface.
Draw a bounded handoff
Describe the specific information crossing between two tools, its direction, permissions, and failure behavior. A related-project link is not an integration.
Start with one useful path
Implement and verify one complete handoff before adding a broad set of connections. Keep an export or recovery route for important information.
A concrete starting point.
LodeStar can remain the owner of an engagement record while a document tool works on a referenced artifact; another client database is unnecessary.
