=== Models of cells === The Zachman Framework typically is depicted as a bounded 6 x 6 "matrix" with the Communication Interrogatives as Columns and the Reification Transformations as Rows. The framework classifications are repressed by the Cells, that is, the intersection between the Interrogatives and the Transformations.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Zachman|first1=John A.|url=http://www.zachman.com|title=Official Home of The Zachman Framework™ |work=Zachman International|access-date=14 February 2015}}</ref> The cell descriptions are taken directly from version 3.0 of the Zachman Framework. ;Executive Perspective # (What) Inventory Identification # (How) Process Identification # (Where) Distribution Identification # (Who) Responsibility Identification # (When) Timing Identification # (Why) Motivation Identification ;Business Management Perspective # (What) Inventory Definition # (How) Process Definition # (Where) Distribution Definition # (Who) Responsibility Definition # (When) Timing Definition # (Why) Motivation Definition ;Architect Perspective # (What) Inventory Representation # (How) Process Representation # (Where) Distribution Representation # (Who) Responsibility Representation # (When) Timing Representation # (Why) Motivation Representation ;Engineer Perspective # (What) Inventory Specification # (How) Process Specification # (Where) Distribution Specification # (Who) Responsibility Specification # (When) Timing Specification # (Why) Motivation Specification ;Technician Perspective # (What) Inventory Configuration # (How) Process Configuration # (Where) Distribution Configuration # (Who) Responsibility Configuration # (When) Timing Configuration # (Why) Motivation Configuration ;Enterprise Perspective # (What) Inventory Instantiations # (How) Process Instantiations # (Where) Distribution Instantiations # (Who) Responsibility Instantiations # (When) Timing Instantiations # (Why) Motivation Instantiations Since the product development (i.e., architectural artifact) in each cell or the problem solution embodied by the cell is the answer to a question from a perspective, typically, the models or descriptions are higher-level depictions or the surface answers of the cell. The refined models or designs supporting that answer are the detailed descriptions within the cell. Decomposition (i.e., drill down to greater levels of detail) takes place within each cell. If a cell is not made explicit (defined), it is implicit (undefined). If it is implicit, the risk of making assumptions about these cells exists. If the assumptions are valid, then time and money are saved. If, however, the assumptions are invalid, it is likely to increase costs and exceed the schedule for implementation.<ref name="CIOC99"/>
