Draw a grid, with the models/nouns/objects on the one axis and the verbs/actions on the other. Fill in a square if you can perform the given action on the given object...If you can fill in every square, consider that a complete “block”, a good candidate for an API design.
Thanks! There are a couple of more techniques we used. Will follow up with a separate post sometime later this month. Also would be interesting to see what approaches simonsarris uses.
