data-modelling

Designs and critiques how information is represented — reducing concepts to their irreducible facts, separating fact from derived, catching models tangled with flags and statuses, and translating the result into a database schema, type system, application state, API payload, event log, form, or spreadsheet. Trigger whenever someone designs, reviews, or refactors a data model, schema, type, table, or state shape; asks what fields, columns, tables, or enums a thing needs; weighs whether something is one entity or two, a flag or its own thing, stored or computed; or senses a representation is tangled, duplicated, or hard to change — however loosely phrased.
