Note that all the artefacts in Fig. 4 (i.e., the documents, the System Models as well as the Deductive and Inductive Model Analyses) share a lot of information. However, every artefact contains some information that is not contained in any of the other artefacts. Therefore,
no artefact can be removed without losing information, and
each System Model (for each system variant) cannot be “the single source of truth” because it does not contain all information (about that system variant).
