Company profiles

A profile is neither a quality rating nor a mandatory stage. It adjusts model breadth to decision types and maintenance cost.

Area	Startup	Stable business	Enterprise
Value	Service or key use case	Formal services and channels	Service portfolio and governed commitments
Work	Usually informal	Processes and capabilities	End-to-end processes, capabilities, and owners
Application	Systems, key components, dependencies	Explicit systems, components, integrations	Interfaces and contracts as governed objects
Information	Payload or data name	Independent information object	Business objects, data objects, and messages
Infrastructure	Environment or placement target	Critical deployments	Deployments, resources, and network segments

Select the smallest profile that covers near-term decisions. A higher profile may be applied only to a critical part of the landscape.
