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.

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.
