What does landscape mapping cover?

Your portfolio of systems, the integrations between them, ownership, data flows, and the architectural decisions that shape how they evolve. The map is captured as YAML so it can be maintained over time.

Who uses the landscape map?

Enterprise architects, engineering leadership, and delivery teams making prioritisation decisions. It is also the input for any AI-augmented modernisation that touches multiple systems.

How is this different from a Visio diagram?

A diagram is a snapshot. A landscape map is a maintained artefact — structured, queryable, and designed to stay current. AI agents can read it; humans can extend it.

Map Your Landscape

Architecture governance for organisations directing agents at scale. Discover your technology landscape, direct your decisions, and govern your evolution.

What it is

Architectural clarity before you scale AI delivery.

Before you can direct agents at scale, you need to know what you are directing them across. Most organisations do not have a clear, current picture of their technology estate — and that gap becomes expensive when AI accelerates delivery.

Map Your Landscape uses the EA Workbench: a living catalog approach where architecture decisions, components, interfaces, and capabilities are maintained as governed artefacts, not slide decks.

What we do

Discover. Direct. Govern.

Discover

We map your current landscape: the systems, the integrations, the data flows, and the decision history. We work with your architects and engineering leads to build a picture that is accurate, not aspirational.

Direct

We identify where architectural decisions are needed and help you make them with the right information in front of you. We capture decisions as ADRs — lightweight, traceable, and owned by your team.

Govern

We help you establish the governance model that keeps the catalog alive after we leave. Architecture without governance drifts. The catalog becomes the mechanism for directing AI delivery at scale.

The EA Workbench

A catalog you own and operate.

The EA Workbench is the tooling layer we use. It is a practitioner-first approach to enterprise architecture: YAML-based, git-native, and designed to be maintained alongside the code it describes.

You leave with a catalog you own and a governance model you operate. Not a dependency on Consid — a capability your architecture practice runs.

What you get

A governed picture of your technology estate.

Current-state architecture catalog
Systems, components, interfaces, and ADRs. Accurate, not aspirational.
Governance model
One you can operate independently after we leave. The catalog stays alive because the model makes it easy to maintain.
Decision register
The significant choices made during the engagement — captured, traceable, and owned by your team.
EA Workbench installation
A working installation in your repository, configured for your landscape.

Who it is for

Organisations scaling AI delivery across a complex estate.

Organisations with multiple systems, teams, or products who are introducing AI-assisted delivery and need architectural clarity before they scale. CTOs, heads of architecture, and engineering leaders responsible for the technology estate.
