Process models — AS-IS and TO-BE

Both diagrams are BPMN 2.0 files with diagram interchange (bpmn/asis.bpmn, bpmn/tobe.bpmn). They open in bpmn.io or Camunda Modeler: both were loaded into bpmn-js 17.11.1 on 12 Nov 2026 with zero import warnings. The SVGs next to them are drawn from the same model by bpmn/build_bpmn.py, so the pictures and the files cannot drift apart.

AS-IS (assumed)

AS-IS

The AS-IS is assumed from the specification's problem statement, not observed at a real organisation. Its four pain points are the failure modes in 01_BRD.md §1:

Pain point Where Consequence TO-BE control
PP1 No source per value Retyping numbers Wrong or invented values reach pricing Every value carries a quote + offsets (FR-02)
PP2 Formulas differ Personal spreadsheets Same deal, different price Deterministic pricing on a versioned rate card (FR-07)
PP3 Approval not tied to values Approval in chat CRM receives values nobody approved Approval binds the package hash; execution re-verifies it (FR-10)
PP4 Timeout → duplicate Typing into CRM Duplicate records or a blind retry Idempotent steps and unknown-outcome reconciliation (FR-17, FR-18)

TO-BE (built)

TO-BE

Step Lane Rule enforced Requirement
Extract drafts with evidence Karsa BR-009, AC-01 FR-02, FR-03, FR-04
Review and confirm; clarify while anything critical is open Analyst — FR-05, FR-06
Price deterministically Karsa BR-002, BR-013 FR-07, FR-08, FR-16
Freeze package (SHA-256) Karsa BR-001 FR-09
High risk? → single approval or exception + two approvers Approver BR-003, BR-006 FR-10, FR-12, FR-13
Authorize execution (separate act) Approver BR-005 FR-14, FR-15
Write CRM + tracker, read back against the hash Karsa BR-007, AC-05, AC-06 FR-17, FR-18
Reconcile / exception queue Automation Eng. — FR-19

Not drawn, to keep the diagram readable: the reject and request-changes paths (they return the case to the analyst and, for a change, create a new package version — see 06_CHANGE_REQUEST_CR-001.md).
