AI can write the code.
Architecture decides what ships.

ArchtSoft holds one structured, versioned, approved architecture model at the centre of the engineering lifecycle — and every AI agent must read from it before it builds anything.

Built for enterprise architecture, platform engineering and governance teams.

The gap

AI made teams faster at building things nobody can verify

Architecture is approved in a document and then implemented from memory. Nothing enforces the link between the two, so the estate drifts from its design one sprint at a time — and the drift is invisible until it is expensive.

Design and build drift apart

Approved architecture lives in a document. Implementation interprets it. Nothing closes the loop.

Architecture decays silently

Every change moves the system further from its model. By the time drift is visible, remediation is a programme.

Nothing is provable

Which requirement drove this component? Which test proves it? Which approval released it? Today those answers live in people's heads.

The principle

Architecture is not a diagram.
It is the control plane.

ArchtSoft holds a structured, versioned, approved architecture model at the centre of the lifecycle. That model directs the AI agents, defines the engineering tasks, validates what they build, and keeps every artifact traceable back to the requirement that asked for it.

The lifecycle

Requirement to release, governed throughout

No stage begins until the stage before it is validated, approved and versioned.

01

Specify

Business requirements become structured, testable specifications with traceability built in.

02

Design

Architecture is generated across data, cloud, infrastructure, security and compliance.

03

Simulate

Performance, failure, scalability and cost are tested on the model before anyone builds.

04

Approve

The model is reviewed, versioned and locked as the organisation's source of truth.

05

Build

Specialist agents execute architecture-derived tasks under orchestration.

06

Release

Integration, CI/CD and deployment run against validated evidence.

Simulation and approval are gates, not formalities — design weaknesses surface on the model, long before they are expensive.

ArchtSim

Test the design before anyone builds against it

ArchtSim simulates architecture behaviour and evaluates design decisions before implementation — so weaknesses are found on the model rather than in production.

  • Component and service interaction simulation
  • Latency, throughput, capacity and bottleneck analysis
  • Component and dependency failure scenarios
  • Behaviour under varying workload and scale
  • Cost comparison across architecture scenarios
The platform

One platform, ten disciplines

Each module owns a layer of the architecture. All ten write into the same versioned model, so nothing is designed in isolation.

ArchtSpec

Requirements engineering — BRDs, PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria and traceability.

ArchtGen

Solution architecture — options, tradeoffs, component design and decision records.

ArchtData

Data architecture — models, ERDs, schemas, data flows, governance and lifecycle.

ArchtCloud

Cloud architecture — AWS, Azure and GCP mapping, region design and cost estimation.

ArchtInfra

Infrastructure architecture — topology, network design and Infrastructure-as-Code planning.

ArchtSec

Security architecture — threat modelling, trust boundaries, identity and access design.

ArchtCompliance

Compliance and governance — control mapping, scorecards, evidence and remediation.

ArchtSim

Architecture simulation — performance, failure, scalability and cost scenarios on the model.

ArchtDev

AI-driven development — architecture-derived tasks, code, tests, review and CI/CD prep.

Orchestrator

Agent lifecycle — assignment, dependencies, monitoring, recovery and approvals.

Execution

Specialists, not one general-purpose agent

Six roles with defined responsibilities, coordinated by an orchestrator that owns task lifecycle, dependencies, retries, validation and approvals.

Coding Agent

Implements architecture-defined components

Database Agent

Generates schemas, migrations, SQL and database tests

Review Agent

Reviews code quality and architecture compliance

Test Agent

Generates and executes unit, integration and other tests

Integration Agent

Integrates components and validates interfaces

Deployment Agent

Prepares and executes approved deployment workflows

Traceability

Every artifact knows where it came from

One unbroken chain from the business requirement to the deployed release.

When architecture, code and evidence share one lineage, an audit stops being a project and becomes a query.

Outcomes

What an enterprise actually gets

The return is not generated code. It is the cost of everything that normally happens around the code.

Close the design-to-build gap

Implementation derives from the approved model rather than interpreting a document nobody re-reads.

Hold consistency as the system evolves

Drift is detected against a version, not discovered during a review months later.

Automate the repetitive engineering tier

Scaffolding, schemas, tests and integration work move to governed, specialised agents.

Make governance continuous

Security and compliance controls are mapped at design time instead of retrofitted before an audit.

Cut manual validation effort

Tests, integration results and evidence are produced as part of the task, not after it.

Control change through approvals

Versioning and approval workflows apply to architecture itself, not only to code.

See it against your own architecture

The fastest way to judge ArchtSoft is to run your current-state architecture through it and look at the drift report. That takes about 45 minutes.
