Governing Standard	Walk	Description — The enterprise architectural or technical standard that governs this integration — for example, an enterprise API design standard, a data sharing policy, or a specific protocol mandate.

Source — Manual. Examples — Enterprise API Design Standard v2.0, Data Sharing and Privacy Policy, Financial Data Transfer Standard, FHIR R4 Implementation Guide
Review Cadence	Walk	Description — How often this integration record is formally reviewed for accuracy, operational health, and continued business necessity.
