Bulletin: Hybrid Database-First Workflow Seed System

WiSE Bulletin: Hybrid Database-First Workflow Seed System

Overview

The Hybrid Database-First Workflow Seed System is a revolutionary approach to business simulation platform seeding that combines:

  • Golden Copy Schema Governance - Rigid, controlled foundation requiring formal approval for changes

  • Client Branch Isolation - Each workflow gets isolated database branch for complete data sovereignty

  • Smart Query Routing - Optimal performance through hybrid query architecture

  • CDM Harmonization - 100% compliance using existing collections only

Architecture Philosophy

Golden Copy Schema Management

The schema-only branch serves as the "Golden Copy CDM" - a rigid, controlled foundation that requires formal governance for any modifications.

Key Principles:

  • Main branch = Golden Copy (schema-only CDM authority)

  • All workflow seeds SOURCE from existing CDM-harmonized collections

  • Any schema EXTEND/APPEND requires Golden Copy governance approval

  • Flag extension needs for QA backlog, don't implement directly

Database-First AI Scaling

Novel approach using Neon DB branching where each client gets full database branch (not just schema) for complete isolation:

  • True Multi-tenancy - No shared state between clients

  • Zero-downtime Scaling - Instant branch creation

  • Complete Data Sovereignty - Each client owns their data branch

  • AI Context Preservation - Per-environment context maintained

  • Payload RBAC - Fine-grained access controls per branch

Hybrid Performance Architecture

Optimized for both isolation and performance:

  • Main Branch - Global knowledge and Trucast CM RAG (fast global queries)

  • Client Branches - Isolated client-specific data and workflows

  • Smart Query Routing - Automatic routing for optimal performance

  • Federated Knowledge - Cross-client insights while maintaining isolation

CDM Patterns Used

The system follows existing CDM harmonization patterns exactly:

Collection Usage

  • cdm-blueprint-archetypes - Business model archetypes

  • cdm-actor-action-drivers - Actor and action definitions

  • trucast-protocols - Protocol definitions with assembly rules

  • business-contexts - Business context definitions

  • process-simulations - Business simulation definitions

ID Formats

  • Blueprint: BP-{archetype}-{industry}-{hash}

  • Driver: {domain}-{function}-{sequence}

  • Protocol: {area}-{type}-PROTOCOL-{sequence}

  • Simulation: {area}-{type}-SIM-{sequence}

  • Context: {area}-{type}-CTX-{sequence}

Data Structures

  • Standard isActive: true activation

  • Confidence scores (0.0 - 1.0)

  • Usage tracking (usageCount, lastUsed)

  • CDM alignment sections

  • Assembly rules with actors, actions, contexts

Schema Extension Governance

The system includes built-in governance for schema changes:

Extension Request Structure

interface SchemaExtensionRequest {
  workflowSeedId: string
  requiredExtensions: SchemaExtension[]
  businessJustification: string
  impactAssessment: string
  approvalStatus: 'pending' | 'approved' | 'rejected'
  backlogPriority: number
}

Governance Process

  1. DETECT & ALERT - System flags any schema extension needs

  2. LOG TO BACKLOG - Creates formal change request

  3. QA APPROVAL PROCESS - Routes through governance workflow

  4. CONTROLLED UPDATE - Only updates Golden Copy after approval

Cold Start Management

This system serves as the ONE-OFF cold start solution:

  • Claude and User as co-creators of Workflow Seeds

  • Establishes foundation for Trucast CM integration

  • Creates reusable patterns for future workflow creation

  • Provides comprehensive showcase examples
