This pattern is a form of customer-supplier context map, where one needs to provide the contract and information while the other needs to use it. Here, instead of bounded context, actual teams are involved in having an upstream/downstream relationship.

Moreover, upstream teams do not provide for the needs of the downstream team, because of their lack of motivation. Therefore, it is possible that the downstream team may need to plan and work on items that will never be available. To resolve such cases, the customer team could develop their own models if the supplier provides information that is not sufficient. If the supplier provided information that is really of worth or of partial worth, then the customer could use the interface or translators that can be used to consume the supplier-provided information with the customer's own models.
