Build better enterprise architecture through structured strategy, design, delivery, and assurance workflows.
ArcKit is a toolkit for enterprise architects that transforms architecture governance from scattered documents into a systematic, AI-assisted workflow for:
- 🏛️ Establishing and enforcing architecture principles
- 👥 Analyzing stakeholder drivers, goals, and outcomes
- 🛡️ Risk management (HM Treasury Orange Book)
- 💼 Business case justification (HM Treasury Green Book SOBC)
- 📋 Creating comprehensive requirements documents
- 🗄️ Data modeling with ERD, GDPR compliance, and data governance
- 🔬 Technology research with build vs buy analysis (web search powered)
- ☁️ Azure-specific research using Microsoft Learn MCP for authoritative documentation
- 🗺️ Strategic planning with Wardley Mapping
- 📊 Generating visual architecture diagrams (Mermaid)
- 🤝 Managing vendor RFP and selection processes
- ✅ Conducting formal design reviews (HLD/DLD)
- 🔧 ServiceNow service management design
- 🔗 Maintaining requirements traceability
- 📎 Citation traceability for external documents (inline
[DOC-CN]markers with source quotes)
