Planet & Company

A Planet transform Products using a Process powered by Cyclos. They are organized in a Stage network that requires Skills to be deployed across a Facility that is owned by a Company.

Each Product contributes to Company with its Gain. A bAmpli receive the Gain from the Cyclo and take wise decisions to keep the Process running smoothly. A Company invest on a bAmpli Circuit composed of combined Cyclos/bAmpli deployed across a Facility aiming return on investment.

The following relationships rule the interaction between the Planet and the Company.

The following diagram clarifies the Planet & Company containerships.

The corresponding relationships are outlined below:

• The Company has Investors that are the shareholders.
• The Investors own Shares that elect Company’s top management.
• The Facility in this context is not a building!
• The Facility is a commitment to lend. It is like a credit card that entitles the Company to borrow on demand up to a prearranged limit at a predetermined interest rate. When the Company use the card, it creates an outstanding loan, and each additional charge is a drawdown against the Facility that increases the loan. Finally the Company pays the loan principal, and may also pay an annual fee for the privilege of having the Facility, independently of the loan. This definition is inspired by Eric Evans “Domain Driven Design” book, seen at chapter eight.
• The Facility designs the bAmpli Circuit in order to manage the Process.
• The bAmpli Circuit is an abstraction implemented by the Company, similar to an electronic circuit schematic that may be applied to different equipment.
• The bAmpli Circuit is composed of at least one bAmpli, or Business Amplifier.
• The bAmpli is responsible for at least one Cyclo, or Gain Machine.
• The Cyclo is composed of at least one Stage.
