AI writes the code. Understanding is the work.
The living map of your systems.
ProvenMap turns code, docs, work items, and plans into architecture intelligence: shared system maps, focused context views, and the shared understanding your coding agents build from.

A board — a living architecture model — and a finding it surfaced: one store, reached by three applications.
The gap that's widening
Your architecture changes faster than anyone can follow the whole shape.

The shape of the estate still lives across diagrams, tickets, design decisions, work threads, and memory. AI coding agents now change those systems faster than people can trace what moved. Teams need shared understanding that stays connected across the estate.
One architecture model for the systems you have and the systems you are planning.
ProvenMap connects sources, maps, layers, decisions, and insights on one board. Teams use that current context to ask better architecture questions, agree the change, and see the relationships that matter.
The whole argument, in under two minutes.
A short film on why software systems are getting harder to hold in your head, and how ProvenMap turns source context into living architecture you can inspect, question, and build from.
The walkthrough
How the living map becomes architecture intelligence.
ProvenMap gives teams a shared, current model of their systems. Use it to understand the landscape together, decide with cross-system impact visible, and hand that shared context to the coding agents that build the change.
01
Understand
Map the systems, sources, and relationships in scope.
02
Decide
Answer architecture questions with cross-system impact visible.
03
Build
Hand compiled skills, intents, and contracts to the coding agents — change an app, or author a new one.
04
Prove
The next sync marks matching intents proven against the code.
01 · Understand
Build a shared model of the systems in play.
Start with the system landscape: live applications, planned systems, third-party services, and the boundaries between them. Connect the sources behind each system so the model can stay current as those sources change. It becomes a ubiquitous language for the domain — drawn rather than written — that the people analysing and the people building both point at.
- 01Model> Name the systems, domains, and relationships.
- 02Ground> Attach the sources behind each part of the model.
- 03Navigate> Move from the landscape into the required level of detail.
- 04Refresh> Surface source changes and stale architecture.

Layers
Move from the cross-system landscape into a system, domain, service, or component when the decision calls for more detail.
“How do our systems connect?”
“What's inside the billing service?”
“What does this component do?”
One shared, layered architecture model — grounded in sources, current enough to trust, navigable from landscape to component — and the visual language everyone works in.
02 · Decide
See the impact. Define the change in context.
Before changing how customer orders are handled, the team asks which systems will be affected. ProvenMap returns a focused board so product, architecture, and engineering can agree the scope and sequence from the same context.
“What else changes if we simplify customer ordering?”
Board generated
The affected path across the systems involved — each relationship explained.
- 01Ask> Frame the proposed change as a question.
- 02Trace> Identify the systems and relationships in scope.
- 03Review> See the answer as a focused architecture board.
- 04Decide> Set the scope, sequence, and intended outcome.
The team makes the decision with cross-system impact visible, then records the reasoning on the affected systems.
03–04 · Build and prove
The understanding is solved. Hand it to the coding agents.
Once an app board is understood, its context travels back into the repo: compiled skills that govern how your coding agents work, released intents anchored to real board elements, and the data and API contracts between systems. In a Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor session that context changes an existing app — or authors a new one from an empty repo.

Analysis and engineering stop being a handoff: the person who understood the system and the person who ships the change speak the same visual language — title optional — and the agents build from it.
Explore architecture boards, published
Browse real architecture boards at provenmap.com/boards. Publish a contextual view when you want to share a system, a layer, or a planned change without exposing the underlying sources.
Built for the context that architecture work depends on.
We run on it.
The board above models our own portal. We use the same map to review architecture, surface insights, plan work, and build the changes from it.
They execute. We remember.
ProvenMap Code runs inside the coding session you already use and connects over MCP. Agents handle implementation; ProvenMap keeps the architecture context current outside any one session.

The whole team drives.
Analysts, PMs, engineers, and architects can ask questions, review impact, adopt decisions, and inspect context from the same board while ownership stays clear.
