generate a discussion user interface element of a graphical user interface for a model view for a plan model of the set of plan models, the discussion user interface element corresponding with the plan model, wherein generating the discussion user interface is based on a collaboration framework for facilitating discussion of the plan model, and wherein the discussion user interface element includes controls that correspond to a set of interactive user interface elements for facilitating a digital collaboration; grant access to interact with a subset of user communications to a set of users based on the set of users being related to one or more business entities related to the plan model, wherein the subset of user communications corresponds to the plan model, wherein the access to interact is facilitated by propagation of the subset of user communications to the set of users by the link expression data structure, and wherein the propagation facilitates the digital collaboration between the set of users across domains within the organization; receive an indication from a user of the set of users, via an interactive user interface element of the set of interactive user interface elements, that content of a selected user communication represents one of a risk or an opportunity to the organization;
