What to inventory first
Choose a representative task and trace its references across systems. Identify shared task identifiers, timestamps, links, or process notes that connect the stages. Record whether the connections are reliable or require human interpretation. Describe what each source contributes to understanding the decision and outcome.
| Inventory area | What to describe |
|---|---|
| Workflow map | Starting event, intermediate decisions, and outcome |
| Connection evidence | Identifiers, links, timestamps, and documented handoffs |
| Export limits | Relationships or history not preserved automatically |
A practical preparation example
An illustrative case might start with a support request, move to an engineering investigation, and end with a documented resolution and updated guidance. The brief would identify the relationship between the records and note unresolved cases where the path is incomplete. It would not assume that every possible source is needed or approved for contribution.
Questions and limits to resolve
Exports may omit links, attachments, or historical values that are visible inside the application. Ask the systems owner what will be preserved and which transformations could affect interpretation. Agree the relevant record relationships before preparing multiple large exports that a reviewer cannot readily connect.
A cross-system case worksheet you can use
Use these headings to create a descriptive preparation brief. They are not a required Micro1 delivery schema, vendor export specification, or request to submit raw records.
| Field to describe | Meaning in this workflow |
|---|---|
| Starting Record | The event that begins the workflow |
| Source Role | What each system contributes to interpretation |
| Link Evidence | The identifier, timestamp, or documented connection |
| Decision Record | The point where an action or handoff was chosen |
| Unlinked Segment | A part of the path that requires explanation or remains missing |
A more informative description
A support request connects to an engineering investigation and a reviewed resolution through known references. The brief identifies which links survive extraction.
A description that leaves questions open
Exports from several systems are placed together without reliable relationships or an explanation of which record belongs to which workflow.
The next decision
Identify the essential connections before preparing broad exports. A set of adjacent sources is not automatically one coherent operating history.
