====== Refine an Existing Model ======

Not every contribution starts from a blank page. Many models here are drafts, stubs, or missing pieces — a BPMN diagram, a citation, a Quick Facts field. Refining means finding one of these and pushing it forward.

===== Recently Created & Updated Process Pages =====

These are the newest or most recently touched process and case pages in Lexipedia — a good place to start if you want to help finish something already underway.

===== What "Refining" Looks Like =====

  * Add or finish a BPMN/DMN diagram — see the [[quick_start_guide|Quick Start Guide]]
  * Fill in missing Quick Facts / structured data fields
  * Add or fix citations and legal references
  * Fix broken internal links or outdated statute/code links
  * Add a jurisdiction or category tag so the page shows up in [[jurisdictions|Jurisdictions]] and [[categories|Categories]]

===== Looking for Something Specific? =====

  * Browse everything by place in [[jurisdictions|Jurisdictions]] or by topic in [[categories|Categories]]
  * Check [[requests|Request Models]] to see what the community wants documented next — a request can also be a candidate for refining if a stub already exists
