The arrow indicates that the architectural work is guided by the thing
it points at (RM). This is a bit confusing but in alignment with UML
class via diagram conventions. Not always intuitive at first glance.
A -> B
means A sees B but B is not aware of A
If it is a labelled binary relationship, UML convention indicates that A
is affected in [name of relation] by B.
Perhaps "guided by" may be more intuitive but the current is correct.
