Hopefully, this is a useful analogy.

Congress is like the product manager and creates something like the URS (user requirements specification).

The executive branches like the developer team that has to Turn those high-level requirements into detailed implementation plans.

The judiciary is typically the quality assurance and auditing team. They make sure that the executive branch hasn’t gone way past the initial requirements and they also check to make sure the initial requirements make sense and don’t cause other problems.
