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

The gap that's widening
The shape of the estate still lives across diagrams, tickets, design decisions, work threads, and memory. Teams need shared understanding that stays connected across all of it.
01
Before AI, understanding was already scarce: stale diagrams and knowledge held by a few people.
02
Coding agents now change systems faster than people can trace what moved.
03
A shape you can sense but not read, spread across tickets, decisions, and memory.
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 short version
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.
Fig. 02ProvenMap: the living map of your systems. Plays here.

A shared, current model of your systems, carried through one loop: from the map, to the decision, to the code, and back.
01
Map the systems, sources, and relationships in scope.
02
Answer architecture questions with cross-system impact visible.
03
Hand compiled skills, work items, and contracts to the coding agents: change an app, or author a new one.
04
The next sync marks matching work items proven against the code.
ProvenMap Code runs inside your coding session and connects over MCP.
Each role starts on a playbook for its own job. Everyone works from the same board while ownership stays clear.
Usually an architect, for a CTO or product manager
01Pick the audience
The CTO, a product manager or operations.
02Draw it for them
A view drawn for that audience, without the internals they don't need.
03Send the link
Publish it and share the link.
Done when they confirm they opened the link and understood it without you explaining it alongside.
Draw one board for the person who needs it, publish it as a link, and hear back that it landed without you in the room.
Tag each system with its owning team, then roll the architecture up into a team map with every dependency between teams on it.
Draw the change where it lands, record the decision with the options weighed, get it agreed by the people it touches, then hand it to the team.
Turn the plan into work items, hand them to developers a wave at a time, and see each step land instead of hearing that it did.
Draw the new systems where they belong, agree the decisions they rest on, sequence the backlog and prove a walking skeleton before handover.
Not a mockup: the ProvenMap portal you're reading, as a live architecture board. Pan it and move through the structure.

“We run on it. The board models our own portal, and we use the same map to review architecture, surface insights, plan work, and build the changes from it.”
