Understand streams, downstream impact, and architect handoffs

Learning outcome

Explain how stewardship changes can affect downstream consumers and produce an actionable handoff for structural follow-up.

Scenario

You have corrected or merged records that may already be exported from CluedIn. The issue is locally resolved, but you need to determine whether downstream consumers or architectural configuration also require attention.

Read

• Stream data
• Work with glossary
• Create hierarchies
• Add relations between records

Exercise

1. Choose a stewardship issue you resolved or simulated earlier in the course.
2. Identify the affected domain, saved search, tag, or glossary population.
3. Determine whether that population or its properties can participate in a stream or downstream export.
4. Describe what a consumer could observe after cleaning, merging, or relation changes.
5. Prepare an architect handoff containing examples, lifecycle location, downstream risk, and recommended review area.

Deliverable

A downstream impact statement and architect handoff note.

Complete when

• You can explain why a local record change may have external consequences.
• Your handoff identifies affected scope and evidence.
• The recipient can tell whether to investigate mapping, identifiers, rules, relations, or stream logic.
