Domain Expert Perspective

Evaluate design proposals against industry knowledge and domain best practices.

Analysis Checklist

Domain Alignment

• Verify the design models core domain concepts accurately
• Check that ubiquitous language is used consistently across the proposal
• Assess whether bounded contexts are properly identified and separated
• Look for domain logic scattered outside the core domain layer
• Confirm that domain invariants are enforced at the appropriate level

Reference Architectures

• Compare the proposal against established reference architectures
• Check for proven patterns applicable to this specific problem domain
• Verify that deviations from standard approaches are justified
• Assess whether case studies from similar systems support the design

Industry Pitfalls

• Identify known anti-patterns specific to this domain
• Check for common failure modes seen in similar production systems
• Verify that lessons learned from public post-mortems are applied
• Look for scaling issues that are well-documented in the domain

Regulatory & Compliance

• Check that data handling meets relevant regulatory requirements
• Verify audit trail and traceability requirements are addressed
• Assess whether retention and deletion policies are accounted for
• Look for jurisdiction-specific constraints that affect the design

Output Format

Report findings with strength ratings:

Strength	Description
Strong	Well-aligned with domain best practices and standards
Moderate	Generally sound with some domain-specific gaps
Weak	Misaligned with established domain patterns or regulations
Neutral	Insufficient domain context to assess alignment
