Second iteration for System-of-interest definition

I’ve got this feedback from Anatoly on my first iteration of System-of-interest definition here https://blog.system-school.ru/2022/09/23/my-understanding-of-why-system-thinking-is-useful-first-round-of-target-system-reveal/

Not target system, system-of-interest. External project roles -- stakeholders. Not system reveal, but better system discovering (rare), even more better will be system definition (standard name for it).Department is organizational unit (constructive object, not functional object, not orgrole), you need something functional for system definition. Data are descriptions, not systems. We will explore this case at a group meeting.Искать нужно а) системы, с ними работающие/их интерпретирующие и б) что именно описывают эти данные, что мы собираемся менять (изменение этих данных нам нужно для изменения чего? вот ключевой вопрос).


So let's do the second iteration for System-of-interest definition.
My interest Function - is governing the Master Data  (limiting Master data usage, managing it's life cycle principles - when and how to create to be to balance different  functional interest to maximize value for whole Enterprise). As a functional unit I can think of Role Master Data Governance Lead (I have two in my team: one for Vendors and one for Materials)

If we leave System-of-Interest as defined in 1st iteration as End Customer enjoys Payed Product, then chain of enabling systems up to the my Engineered System will be:
