Why each option
To highlight structural redundancy, the BA documents the current state to make the existing process problems visible and build the case for change.
A current state description captures how the business currently operates, including the redundant process of two divisions handling first contact resolution. Documenting this existing structure makes the problem explicit and provides a baseline for comparing the proposed single-point-of-contact solution. It is the artifact that highlights what needs to change in the organizational structure.
Policies and procedures define rules and steps for how work should be done, not a tool for highlighting structural redundancy between divisions.
Business capability analysis maps what a business can do at a high level but does not expose specific structural or process redundancies between organizational units.
Organizational modeling documents roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships but is more suited to designing a future structure than exposing current-state redundancy problems.
