## Guides

- [Data modelling](https://www.darrylmunro.nz/data-modelling.md): What data modelling is, the signs you need it, and how NZ teams can model data properly before building new systems, dashboards or AI.
- [The Daz Method](https://www.darrylmunro.nz/daz-method.md): A human-led, AI-assisted way to solve everyday IT and operational problems: understand the problem, agree what matters, and climb only as far as you need to.

## Daz Patterns

Pragmatic architecture patterns for New Zealand organisations: what each pattern solves, the cheaper fix to try first, and where it stops being BAU. Each pattern follows the same structure: a short answer, the problem, symptoms, cheaper fixes to try first (the pragmatism ladder, rung 1 = process, rung 5 = AI/ML), the pattern itself, New Zealand context, trade-offs, and the point where the work stops being business-as-usual.

### Integration

- [Secure File Transfer](https://www.darrylmunro.nz/patterns/secure-file-transfer.md): When files are still the right way to swap data with a partner, and how NZ organisations can make the exchange auditable before buying an integration platform.
