Shared architecture language
Stop using “customer,” “account,” “tenant,” and “project” as if they mean the same thing.
Give product, engineering, security, billing, and operations one shared model for deciding what is isolated, who governs it, what is built, who pays, and how consumption is attributed.

Why this matters
Ambiguous tenant language becomes a security, billing, and delivery defect.
When one customer object means payer, directory, isolation boundary, application, and API identity, every integration makes a different assumption—and the platform cannot explain who owns, accesses, uses, or pays for anything.
- 01One noun, one primary job: Separate commercial, governance, isolation, work, resource, consumption, and packaging concepts even when the same company participates in several roles.
- 02Stable internal boundaries: Use immutable internal identifiers for tenancy and authorization. Treat names, domains, emails, provider records, and infrastructure labels as changeable attributes.
- 03Explicit relationships: Model who governs, belongs, acts, owns, consumes, and pays rather than inheriting permissions or billing behavior through convenient guesses.
- 04Traceable operations and cost: Carry tenant and project context through APIs, background jobs, resources, usage events, logs, reports, and billing workflows.
