Overview
The setup concerns that tailor O2A for one organization before operation.
Configuration statements
O2A ships as a generic model. Configuration is how one organization tailors that generic model to its own structure through a small set of Configuration Artifacts. Those artifacts must be authored in a validated dependency order, and a validated minimum unlocks the organization's right to operate.
How It Works
Start from the Grammar, which states the common rules every Configuration
Artifact obeys. Each CA-XXXXXX page then states one setup concern. Because
configuration precedes operations, the artifacts must be authored in validated
dependency order; Dependencies shows that path and Operational Readiness states
the minimum validated basis that grants the right to operate. The reference
pages cover instances and reusable templates.
Grammar
The common rules for Configuration Artifacts, identifiers, states, and dependencies.
Customers & NeedsCA-CUSNED
Customer-segment types and need categories.
Unit Types & HierarchyCA-UNITYP
Unit-type taxonomy, node archetypes, and hierarchy rules.
Offering NaturesCA-OFFNAT
Offering-nature taxonomy, restrictions, and embedded business equations.
Business EquationsCA-BUSEQU
The semantic component that selects the archetype used by Offering Natures.
Unit LifecycleCA-UNILIF
Lifecycle stages per unit type and the implicit single-stage default.
P&L ManagementCA-PLMGMT
Financial governance rules and the mandatory minimum-set basis.
Shared ServicesCA-SHRSVC
The shared-services payment model when shared service providers exist.
Go-To-Market AccessCA-GTMACC
External-client access eligibility.
Dependencies
The validated prerequisites that unlock downstream setup concerns.
Operational Readiness
The validated setup basis required before operation.
Instances
Organization setup and runtime operational data instances.
Templates
Reusable dependency-closed configuration chains.
Why It Matters
Without configuration the standard is generic and cannot describe any real organization. Configuration turns shared O2A grammar into a specific organization's customers, units, offerings, and financial governance, in an order the standard guarantees is meaningful.
