Annex's published capability model brings those concerns together so that a decision in one area does not quietly create a problem somewhere else in the service or platform.","answer_source":"initial_seed_from_approved_annex_knowledge","category":"Technical Design & Development","category_slug":"technical-design-development","confidence":"grounded_in_approved_public_brain","conversation_stage":"connection","created_at":"2026-09-11T03:15:00+00:00","date_published":"2026-08-28T15:55:16+00:00","display_date":"2026-08-28","editor_images":[],"freshness_warning":"","id":"annex-qa-04-04","image_ids":["annex_real_022","annex_real_034","annex_real_033","annex_real_010","annex_real_011","annex_real_003","annex_real_028","annex_real_023","annex_real_017","annex_real_035"],"image_url":"https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/60f1133ba7288a73bf4472bd/6141a53c1f475506042b221f_projects-actew-design-system-desktop1.png","inline_image":false,"inline_image_role":"","json_url":"/answer/why-are-architecture-front-end-back-end-apis-and-content-platforms-part-of-the-technical-design-and-development-conversa.json","language":"en-AU","last_updated":"2026-09-11T03:15:00+00:00","needs_review":false,"public_disclaimer":"","publish_status":"published","published_at":"2026-08-28T15:55:16+00:00","question":"Why are architecture, front end, back end, APIs and content platforms part of the Technical Design & Development conversation?","question_intent":"connection","review_status":"initial_seed_reviewed_for_source_grounding","rss_enabled":true,"schema_enabled":true,"site_key":"annexaidt","slug":"why-are-architecture-front-end-back-end-apis-and-content-platforms-part-of-the-technical-design-and-development-conversa","source":"approved_annex_public_brain","source_record_ids":["annex-orientation-tech","annex-capabilities-technical-design-and-development-01","annex-capabilities-01","annex-capabilities-experience-design-01"],"source_type":"initial_seed_public_brain","source_urls":["https://www.annex.com.au/capabilities/technical-design-and-development","https://www.annex.com.au/capabilities","https://www.annex.com.au/capabilities/experience-design"],"status":"published","tags":["technical-design-development","connection","annex","initial-seed"],"updated_at":"2026-09-11T03:15:00+00:00"},{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Annex uses evidence during delivery rather than treating quality as a final inspection step.
