Data and large data volumes
Address ownership, authority, selectivity, skew, migration, reconciliation, retention, archive access, and recovery.

// How to prepare
Use each practice deliberately
- Read for business drivers and quality attributes before proposing a product or pattern.
- Make assumptions visible and explain how a different assumption would change the recommendation.
- Compare at least two viable approaches using security, scale, consistency, cost, delivery, and operational trade-offs.
- Practice presenting the rationale concisely; use each Memory Hook as a prompt for a structured verbal explanation.
