Put it to work.
Start with what needs to happen. Make the next decision clear.
For the person responsible for the work
Follow a situation and see what changes when permission, current information or a human decision matters.
For the team making the connection
Identify the action boundary, required authority and evidence, failure behaviour and resulting receipt before connecting a provider.
For the person inspecting the result
Check the exact claim, source version, environment, record and known limitations. A demo and a production witness are different kinds of evidence.
