Use Cases
Where PMFA Applies
PMFA is not a general-purpose framework. It is designed for specific problem domains where its constraints become advantages.
Financial Services
Banks, insurance companies, trading platforms. Where every transaction must be auditable, every rule traceable, every decision explainable. Where regulators ask questions years after the fact.
Healthcare Systems
Patient records, clinical workflows, billing. Where data integrity is life-critical. Where "who changed what when" is a legal requirement.
Enterprise Resource Planning
Manufacturing, inventory, procurement, accounting. Complex domains with complex rules. Where exceptions are the rule and manual overrides are the norm—and where this creates liability.
Government and Public Sector
Benefits administration, licensing, permitting. Where transparency is mandatory. Where citizen trust depends on system integrity.
Legal and Contract Management
Contract lifecycle, dispute resolution, obligations tracking. Where the system must prove what was agreed, when, and what changed.
Supply Chain
Provenance tracking, compliance verification, multi-party coordination. Where truth must be shared across organizational boundaries.
Not Applicable
- Simple CRUD applications
- Systems requiring sub-millisecond latency
- Environments where eventual consistency is acceptable
- Projects without long-term audit requirements
- Domains without regulatory obligations
