Use cases

DOBJ bridges the gap between strategic initiatives (INI) and organisational departments (DEPT). Each domain objective links an initiative (via objectLookup with comboKey 1) to a specific domain/department (via objectLookup with comboKey 2), enabling the same initiative to have different objectives across departments. Projects (PJ) reference DOBJ as their 'Strategic pillar' (objective field on PJ), creating a chain from initiative > domain objective > project that traces strategy to execution. The AI features (ai:true, context.getDivisonUnitData) enable intelligent analysis of how objectives align across the organisation. The entity is deliberately simple - just name, description, initiative link, and domain link - because the detail lives in the linked initiative and projects. This is a junction entity that makes the many-to-many relationship between initiatives and departments explicit.
