Location Canvas
Map consumer, producer, system, data, network, regulatory, and trust-boundary locations to ensure compliance and performance across regions.
Outcomes
- Documented location, residency, network, and regulatory requirements
- Regional performance and accessibility constraints identified
- Data residency, trust boundaries, and applicable regulations clarified
How it works
- Map locations of producers, source systems, platforms, and consumers.
- Document where consumers are located.
- Identify applicable regulations.
- Document where data must reside.
- Ensure the capability is accessible in all intended network regions.
- Validate network performance across regions.

Locations Canvas
What geopolitical, regulatory, network, and trust boundaries affect this capability or integration? Identify where consumers, producers, and dependent systems operate across internal networks, partner networks, public internet, and regulated regions. Describe the latency, trust, compliance, and connectivity implications between them.
