C4 pushes a broad view on the state of is and will be, with successive "zooming in" at different layers. The act of such allows you to figure out what's necessary and what's not, while also pushing the builders into thinking in terms of reusability/overlap/components/interfaces. Personal experience has proved that I wind up architecting for _less_ using this approach.
