When a schema has many downstream dependencies, apply slower and more deliberate revision cadences than its pace layer alone suggests, because updating foundational schemas requires cascading updates to all dependent schemas.
For each important schema, map both its prerequisites (what it depends on) and its dependents (what depends on it), then flag schemas appearing most frequently as dependencies for regular review.
Distinguish artificial serialization (treating independent tasks as dependent) from premature parallelization (launching tasks before their dependencies resolve) by mapping actual information flow rather than assumed ordering.
