Learn your domain
Domain Context Learner captures the business context that an architecture decision should never ignore: what your organization does, what it cares about, and how its data really flows. It takes about a minute and produces a domain profile that Architect and Reviewer reuse automatically.
You only need to do this once. The profile stays saved in your browser and is applied every time you open Architect or Reviewer — until you update or clear it.
When to use it
- Before your first architecture evaluation — so Architect starts pre-tuned.
- When your business context changes, e.g. a new compliance regime or a shift toward real-time operations.
- When you want a reminder of the qualities driving your decisions.
The four steps
Choose your business domain
Pick the domain that matches your organization from the twelve available options.
Rank the qualities that matter
Select and order the qualities that drive your decisions — cost control, time-to-market, resilience, compliance, and more.
Describe the shape of your data
Answer four questions about your data: volume, real-time needs, integration complexity, and sensitivity.
Save your profile
Confirm and save. Architect and Reviewer will pick the profile up automatically from now on.

What happens next
Your saved profile is stored under the
wahab-waypoint.domain-profile key in the browser. From
now on:
- Architect pre-tunes its priority sliders from your domain and ranked qualities.
- Reviewer adjusts requirements with the same domain context before scoring.
To redo it, simply run the learner again and save — the new profile replaces the old one.
