Combining multiple software modelling techniques — C4 Model, Context Maps, and EventStorming — provides richer feedback than using any single approach alone. Using a hospitality system as an example, the author walks through how C4 System and Container diagrams establish overall structure and boundaries, Context Maps reveal upstream/downstream relationships and team leverage, and message flow diagrams simulate business processes. The combination, sometimes called 'Model Storming', allows teams to spot issues like over-coupled modules, missing ACLs, or misplaced coordinators early. The author encourages experimentation with additional techniques like Example Mapping, Wardley Maps, and Domain Storytelling.
