What it does

  • Same word used for different concepts (ambiguity)
  • Different words used for the same concept (synonyms)
  • Vague or overloaded terms
  • An Invoice belongs to exactly one Customer
  • An Order produces one or more Invoices
  • Be opinionated. When multiple words exist for the same concept, pick the best one and list the others as aliases to avoid.
  • Flag conflicts explicitly. If a term is used ambiguously in the conversation, call it out in the "Flagged ambiguities" section with a clear recommendation.
