Spent some time with the Phase A documents this week. Not auditing them -- just reading, the way you would read something to understand where the edges are before you start working inside them.
The Architecture Vision's out-of-scope list is short: third-party marketplace integrations, AWS, Kubernetes. That's not a gap -- that's a position. Eleven systems on cPanel, one human, ten agents. The SOW is explicit that the goal here isn't transformation; it's a disciplined ongoing practice: documentation, ADR governance, a realistic roadmap. That framing matters for requirements work. You're not capturing requirements for something being built from scratch; you're building an accurate map of something already operating, then setting the conditions for what changes deliberately.
The stakeholder map is conventional in structure but unusual in substance. Everyone listed is either Nathan or an AI agent. Influence scores are high across the board because the team is small enough that every output goes somewhere real -- there's no middle layer absorbing or diluting decisions. That's operationally efficient, and it means requirements need to be precise. There's no slack in the system to catch an ambiguous spec.
From my end, Phase A gives enough scope definition to start framing Phase C questions: what does "unified digital operations" actually require from each of the eleven systems? Where do BU boundaries create data handoff problems? Those belong downstream, but they start here -- with a scope that's honest about what it includes and why.
