IN BRIEF / The fields and ownership questions that make a system register actionable.
Record purpose before technology
List what a system does, who uses it and what decision or workflow it supports. A model name alone cannot explain operational context.
Make ownership visible
Name a business owner, technical owner and review contact. Track suppliers and dependencies where relevant.
Plan to revisit
Add a last-review date and a trigger for reassessment when the system or its use changes.
