  text: "<jats:title>ABSTRACT:</jats:title>\r\n                  <jats:p>Small and
    medium-sized enterprises often lack the time, expertise, and tools for effective
    scenario management. This paper proposes a modular, AI-enabled scenario architecture
    integrating a guided wizard and expert environment on a shared knowledge backbone.
    The design aims to reduce effort and tool fragmentation while preserving human
    judgment, structural quality, explainability, and traceability. The proposed pattern
    outlines a provenance-aware foresight pipeline with human-in-the-loop capabilities
    that aims to transform one-off projects into reusable organizational knowledge.</jats:p>"
