Yeah it's unfortunate that one has to reverse engineer Trio in order to understand it
I'd say that if you know what you want from a decent data-plane architecture you can ask very specific questions in RFQ/RFP or during discussions with vendors.

But I would not generalize here.
For example Cisco goes into a lot of detail in their public presentations.
And what's best is that you have software and system architects for asr9k available anytime for any questions online on public forums to discuss any issues or questions you may have.

And also there's nothing to hide as the architectural concepts are well known, there are tons of scientific papers and university lectures online.
-unless of course one has omitted something in which case hiding is appropriate I guess ;)
