You might be somewhat intrigued then by our method of doing things.
First we build it, and then we try to draw it.
I never looked at it that way, but you're right!!!
(Silly us!) Kinda like a toddler trying to design the Perfect Plaything while having it in his/her hand....
Nothing is conventional around here. LOL!
Just for you... ;-)

What's so unusual about that? It's SOP in the Tech Sector; documentation always follows manufacturing and the ECO will be Implemented next quarter. Maybe. Well, actually it has improved since the Dot Com bust. In 2000, we were pushing capital equipment out the door as fast as the manufacturing floor could assemble it. "Gotta ship to recognize revenue; damn the documentation!" But, cooler heads have prevailed in recent years (not surprising considering the amount of time some now have on their hands), and we now must have the ECO Implemented in Oracle by the system ship date. But it still isn't a design-then-build sequence; they're very much concurrent processes.
Gasp!! I've slipped into "work-speak"! It all sounds so Dilbert-esque, when I read what I typed.
