Available Templates
Select a template below to view its structure, block types, and getting started guidance.
Capability Mapping View
Mapping business capabilities to the architectural components that deliver them
Change Impact View
Analysing how proposed changes ripple through the architecture, identifying affected components, teams, and timelines
Complexity Hotspot View
Identifying where cognitive and technical complexity concentrates in the architecture, creating risk and maintenance...
Data Flow View
Documenting how data moves through the system, including sources, transformations, destinations, and governance controls
Dependency View
Mapping all dependencies between systems, components, and services to answer 'what breaks if' questions
Deployment Environment View
Documenting each deployment environment (dev, test, staging, production) and the differences between them
Failure and Resilience View
Explicitly modelling failure scenarios and the architectural mechanisms that contain, recover from, and prevent them
Failure Mode View
A cross-cutting 'what breaks first' lens, mapping the most likely and most impactful failure modes across the...
Functional Decomposition View
Breaking the system into its functional capabilities, showing what it does independently of how it is built
Incident Replay View
Documenting architecture through the lens of a real incident, showing what failed, why, and what the architecture...
Integration View
A focused view showing only integration points, protocols, and data exchange between systems
Layered Architecture View
Documenting the system as a stack of layers with clear separation of concerns and dependency rules
Logical Architecture View
Documenting the logical structure of the system, separating what it does from how it is implemented
Migration and Transition View
Documenting how the architecture evolves over time through planned transition states from current to target
Non-Functional View
Documenting how non-functional requirements are achieved architecturally, not just stated
Operational View
Documenting how the system is operated, monitored, maintained, and supported in production
Physical Architecture View
Documenting how logical components map to physical infrastructure, servers, networks, and deployment targets
Runtime Interaction View
Documenting what actually happens at runtime, showing system interactions as sequences over time
Security View
A cross-cutting security perspective showing trust boundaries, authentication flows, and security controls across the...
Simplified Executive View
Presenting the same architecture at radically reduced detail for executive and board-level audiences
Stakeholder-Specific Views
Creating tailored architecture views for specific audiences, adjusting detail and focus without duplicating content
Standards Compliance View
Documenting how the architecture complies with internal standards, industry regulations, and framework requirements
Stress and Peak Load View
Documenting how the architecture behaves under stress and peak load, which is rarely the same as normal operation
System Context View
Documenting the system boundary, external actors, and all interactions with the outside world
Technology Stack View
Documenting the approved technology stack, how technologies fit together, and the rationale for each choice
Time-Based Evolution View
Visualising how the architecture has changed and will change over months or years
