IDL — Case Study Series

Case Studies

System-level analysis of how real products are architected at the platform layer. Each study examines structural decisions, failure modes, and architectural primitives derived from publicly observable behaviour.

Zoho One — Runtime Continuity Applied

Zoho One is commercially unified but operationally fragmented at runtime. This study identifies the structural gap, proposes a runtime coordination layer, and argues why surface-layer design cannot substitute for it.
