DDL Knowledge Architecture

Excel knowledge,
governed and
graphed.

A registry of Excel patterns, formulas, and architectures — typed, tiered, and connected by governed edges. Not a glossary. Not a tutorial. A knowledge graph you can traverse.

What It Is
Three layers. One architecture.
01 — THE REGISTRY
Governed Schema
v0.2 LOCKED
Every entry has 17 fields: type, tier, intent, example, edges, failure modes, governance notes, difficulty score, usage frequency, and Excel version. Locked by 9-model council review. Zero REJECT. Zero REVISE.
02 — THE GRAPH
Typed Edges
LIVE EXPLORER
200 governed edges connect every entry via LEADS_TO, DEPENDS_ON, and PAIRS_WITH relationships. Click any node. Trace any path. The graph is the cathedral.
03 — THE STANDARDS
Institutional Rules
2 STANDARDS
STD-EXCEL-001 and STD-EXCEL-002 define analytical and operational workbook architecture. Every entry that references a standard links directly to the governing rule.
Entry Types
Seven types. One prefix each.
Skill Tiers
Four tiers. One governed path.

Tools, Standards & Paths
The applied layer.
Tools · PTN-0007
CF Pattern Library
10 conditional formatting patterns with visual previews, governed formulas, scope guidance, and copy-ready syntax.
Graph Explorer
Explore the Full Graph
Force-directed layout with Explore and Path Finder modes. Trace any learning path from Beginner to Expert through governed edges.
Registry Analytics
The Graph Knows Itself
Live diagnostics on the registry — density, distribution, topology, and health. The system audits itself so you know where to build next.
STD-EXCEL-001
Analytical Workbook Standard
9 rules covering star schema layout, fact table design, MAKEARRAY matrices, dashboard standards, and naming conventions.
STD-EXCEL-002
Operational Workbook Standard
8 rules covering INPUT→LOGIC→OUTPUT architecture, status lifecycle, exception logs, and control parameters.
Learning Paths
Your First Hour & Star Schema
Two curated paths through the knowledge graph. Foundations first. Institutional-grade architecture second.
Excelligence
The graph gets smarter every time you lay stone.
