        "text": "A minimal set usually includes: unique IDs, canonical names, key attributes, relationships to other entities, and metadata like source system and timestamps. Start small but consistent; you can add more properties once basic linking and querying work reliably.\n\nOver‑modeling early often slows delivery without adding real value.\n\n**Key factors:**\n- Business‑critical attributes per entity type (customer, asset, doc)\n- Stable keys and alternative identifiers (emails, SKUs, external IDs)\n- Relationship fields (belongs_to, part_of, located_in, etc.)\n- Provenance and lifecycle metadata (created_by, updated_at, status)\n\nPractically, workshop with domain experts to agree on “must‑have” fields for each entity type, lock those into templates, and resist adding optional fields until you’ve validated usage.\n\nTreat entity file design as a living standard that evolves with real needs, not a one‑off spec.",
