For AI assistants and other programs: this page is an interactive process map and needs JavaScript to draw. Its whole content is also here in other forms. As JSON, with a guide to reading it: https://complexity.verdura.cc/view/loz0noFLsiGGO9O2SnoXdzC1/map.json. As plain text: https://complexity.verdura.cc/view/loz0noFLsiGGO9O2SnoXdzC1/map.txt.

How to read the map

• This is a process map made with Ver Dura Complexity (https://complexity.verdura.cc). It shows a multistep process as steps joined by what flows between them.
• nodes: the steps of the process. Each has a name, a description, a class, tags, a lane ("layer" in the data), and maybe a group.
• objects: the things that flow between steps, such as a document, a decision or a product. A node "requires" objects (its inputs) and "produces" objects (its outputs).
• connections: each joins one output of a node ("from") to one input of another node ("to"). Both ends carry the same object. Follow connections to follow the process. A connection back to an earlier step is a loop.
• if: an output with "if" is produced only on that condition. Several outputs of one node with different conditions are a branch.
• classes: kinds of step (for example a person, a machine, a source). They may carry a description.
• tags: free marks on nodes. The tag "Problem" marks a step that has an issue.
• layers: the lanes of the map: places or stages of the process, in order. Every node and group is on one lane.
• groups: bundles of steps on one lane. A group may sit inside another group ("parent").
• notes: stage notes. Each is an observation about one or more steps ("nodes"): what works well there, what goes wrong, an idea. It has a heading, a text ("body"), maybe a type, and maybe tags. Read them to judge the steps they are on.
• noteTypes: the kinds of stage note, in the order the map owner ranks them (for example Good and Bad). A note with no type has none of them.
• place: "start" on the step the map owner marked as where the process begins, "finish" on the step where it ends. Other steps with no inputs or no outputs are further starting or end points.
• An input with nothing connected to it comes from outside the map; an output with nothing connected leaves the map or is not used yet.
