Why Examples Matter
This section provides concrete examples that illustrate the model in operation. The examples are illustrative, not prescriptive; specific implementations will vary. They use a fictional spec-writer capability as a recurring case study.
The point of the references is to make the structure concrete, not to provide a fully working capability.
