Five hostnames become five clear tasks.
| Hostname | Inferred service | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| www.firma.de | Website | Group with the main domain |
| api.firma.de | API | Confirm API scope |
| git.firma.de | Development platform | Confirm ownership and testing authorization |
| help.firma.de | Ticket system | Distinguish self-hosted systems from SaaS |
| app.firma.de | Customer portal | Agree roles and test accounts |
