## Summary

DecisionPen builds and updates an IT landscape incrementally from meetings, transcripts, documents, and repositories — with human curation. Progress is trusted updates, not a one-off complete baseline.

## Loop

1. Ingest  
2. Propose (metamodel-aware)  
3. Curate  
4. Bind evidence  
5. Ask & act (including artefact generation)

## How DecisionPen helps

Automates transcription of enterprise reality into metamodel drafts; reserves human expertise for curation and decisions — reducing the Discovery Tax.

## FAQ

**Can AI populate an EA repository from documents?** Yes — propose then curate; not unsupervised dump.
