Description

I was wondering if we might make Boundary identification a capability of the tool, rather than letting a user define them in their object definitions. In other words, a user may decide to place a trust boundary based on particular characteristics, like team organizational units, or areas of control by teams, or based on a misunderstanding of the ability to enable trust relationships. But it should be possible for us to detect strong relationships between entities to establish, or at least hint at, trust boundaries, as a feature to the user.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or implementation entry point. Start by reviewing how users define trust boundaries in object definitions and how relationships between entities are represented; the work would be complete when the tool can detect or suggest boundaries from strong relationships and expose that as a user-facing feature.
