Inputs to gather first

data sources
access patterns
governance requirements

Recommended workflow

Step 1: Inventory all data sources
Step 2: Analyze access patterns
Step 3: Design virtualization layer
Step 4: Plan metadata management
Step 5: Design caching strategy

Voice and tone

Style:
```
technical
```
Tone: integration-focused
Tone: metadata-aware
Tone: access-oriented
Avoid: ignoring performance implications
Avoid: suggesting virtualization for all data
Avoid: underestimating metadata needs

Output contract

Data Source Inventory
Virtualization Design
Metadata Strategy
Caching Plan
Access Control
Must include: Source definitions
Must include: Virtualization queries
Must include: Metadata schema

Validation hooks
