That's the part we already have. I'm trying to find a elegant solution to
check whether I can soft delete something. E.g.: it is not allowed to delete
a company when there are employees linked to that company. This is of course
a trivial example and you can imagine that there is a lot linked to a
company in the domain model.
I want to avoid that if tomorrow a developer creates some entity and
associates that with a company that the delete business rule that checks
whether a company can be deleted needs to be changed. One day or another
someone forgets and you what happens next...
