# Validate Architecture Model
Run the validation script and interpret results for the user.
## Workflow
1. Run: `python scripts/validate.py`
2. Parse the output
3. Summarize for the user:
- Total elements in registry
- Validation errors (elements in diagrams but not registered)
- Orphan elements (registered but not in any diagram)
- Domain maturity scores
## Response Format
```
**Validation Results**
| Metric | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Registry entries | X |
| Validation errors | X |
| Orphan elements | X |
**Errors (if any):**
[List each error with file location]
**Orphans by layer:**
[Group orphans by ArchiMate layer]
**Recommendations:**
[Suggest fixes for errors, note that orphans are expected for incomplete models]
```
## Notes
- Orphan elements are normal for incomplete models - don't alarm the user
- Validation errors are more serious - these indicate diagrams reference unregistered elements
- If user asks for JSON output, run: `python scripts/validate.py --format json`
