BOUNDARY AUDIT:
The phrase “structured to reflect” is used to describe the static state of the data architecture; the word “allowing” and the noun “review” were removed to eliminate any implication of reader activity or system capability.
CONSTRAINT:
The text excludes any directional language that would suggest the reader use the hub to resolve personal billing issues.
