"Well, the Zachman Framework has a little secret: few if any enterprises are able to flesh out more than a small handful of the 30 models associated with the boxes in the Framework. Instead, the Framework represents a best case, providing guidance for enterprise architects to tackle different aspects of their organization as the business needs dictate"
As I suspected :-)  So, is there any evidence that enterpises that accept the guidance that Zachman provides are actually more successful than those that do not? 
 
I heard Zachman speak a couple of years ago, and I was stuck by the thought that he reminded me of a RESTifarian (or a relational model purist for that matter):  Nice clean conceptual model, logically grounded advice on all sorts of topics, but not much in the way of empirical evidence that forcing messy reality into the tidy framework actually works better than the alternatives that don't struggle too hard against  architectures that are nasty, brutish, and long-lived.
