Checks and standards
The checks are deterministic rules that run in your browser on every change, without AI and without credits. Each finding points at the elements it concerns, and you accept, dismiss or fix it in the review. The Standards register keeps the rest of your rules of the road: the technology radar, patterns, decisions and exceptions.
Start here
Run the checks on a diagram you know, read two or three findings, and fix one. Then look at the register your workspace keeps.
Run checks and handle findings
Open the findings, show them on the canvas, fix, accept the risk or dismiss with a reason.
Check rules
What each rule looks for, why it matters and how to fix it.
Standards
One register for the radar, patterns, decisions and exceptions.
Use the technology radar
Adopt, Trial, Assess, Hold, and end-of-life dates the checks watch.
Checks and standards
Apply a pattern
Save a proven piece of architecture as a versioned pattern, insert it in other diagrams, and update every copy when a new version is published.
Record a decision
Record an architecture decision with its outcome, conditions and reasons, pinned to the exact version of the diagram it was taken on.
Accept an exception
Accept a known gap to a standard for a limited time, with its scope, reasons and compensating controls. The checks remind you before it lapses.
