ProvenMap

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.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Map the systems, sources, and relationships in scope.

  2. 02

    Decide

    Answer architecture questions with cross-system impact visible.

  3. 03

    Build

    Hand compiled skills, work items, and contracts to the coding agents — change an app, or author a new one.

  4. 04

    Prove

    The next sync marks matching work items 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.

  1. 01Model> Name the systems, domains, and relationships.
  2. 02Ground> Attach the sources behind each part of the model.
  3. 03Navigate> Move from the landscape into the required level of detail.
  4. 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.

L0System landscape

“How do our systems connect?”

L1Service

“What's inside the billing service?”

L2Component

“What does this component do?”

Outcome

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.

Ask your architecture

“What else changes if we simplify customer ordering?”

Board generated

Customer ordering — impact

The affected path across the systems involved — each relationship explained.

  1. 01Ask> Frame the proposed change as a question.
  2. 02Trace> Identify the systems and relationships in scope.
  3. 03Review> See the answer as a focused architecture board.
  4. 04Decide> Set the scope, sequence, and intended outcome.
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 work items 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.

Existing app · changed

New app · built from empty

Compiled skills, work items and contracts pass from the app board to your coding agent, which changes an existing app or builds a new one.
Outcome

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.
