Boundary Governance in Business Platform: Principles, Strategies, and Implementation

The article explains Yanxuan’s “boundary governance” approach—using horizontal layering and vertical domain decomposition to isolate complexity—by analyzing and redefining business, system, and organizational boundaries, planning twelve core business blocks, continuously reviewing them, and applying project‑based, consensus‑driven, and forward‑looking strategies to resolve boundary issues and strengthen the middle‑platform architecture.
