Wardley maps and the general effort to represent human organization using ontologies (e.g., Business Model Canvas) are quite fascinating (and useful, necessary etc). Yet it strikes me that the whole ontology and mapping effort movements miss an important feedback loop that would elevate these beyond the minimal: "here is another meaningful way to connect some dots on a graph".
What is missing is a widely available empirical basis offering, minimally, validation from actual business developments. For that you need lots of relevant data, pooled from a large number of business projects over long periods of time. Proprietariness and cost are probably the main reasons we don't have that.
