If it takes a while it will be out of date by the time it is complete.
A single request might directly impact a dozen separate systems, which in turn call other services. You won't be able to find anyone who knows much past the layer they directly interact with. All of these services are being worked on. Some older ones are in the process of being deprecated in favor of newer ones. Someone is already working on the design of the replacements for the newer ones. Changes are being pushed weekly if not daily. If you send a request and then send it again a minute later, it might go through a completely different set of services based on a feature toggle.
You can't step into the same river twice.
