Review
Assess current architecture, implementation drift, risks, and alignment with accepted decisions.
Meridian
An Agentic Architect for customer-owned architecture governance.
Meridian helps technical leaders assess architecture, compare options, expose trade-offs, record decisions, and govern implementation against accepted baselines.
Definition
Architecture is the design decisions required to achieve stakeholder consensus.
Meridian helps identify the decisions that matter, explain the options, and make trade-offs visible before a human decision maker records the outcome.
Supporting design can also be documented, but Meridian distinguishes it from stakeholder-impacting architecture decisions.
What Meridian supports
Architecture work beyond review.
Meridian capabilities will be released incrementally, beginning with Review in v1 and Design in v2.
Design
Explore target-state options with rationale, constraints, and trade-offs.
Governance
Check future changes against accepted decisions, baselines, and architectural intent.
Decision Management
Record architecture decisions with rationale, ownership, assumptions, consensus state, and consequences.
Transition
Plan movement from current state to target state with risk-aware sequencing.
Technical Evaluation
Compare platforms, frameworks, tools, and vendors against stakeholder concerns.
Feasibility
Evaluate whether a direction is practical under real constraints.
Proof-of-Concept (POC)
Validate a specific technical approach before committing to broader implementation.
Prototype
Explore user experience, integration behavior, or solution shape through a working model.
Decision ownership
Your leaders remain the architecture authority.
Meridian recommends options and trade-offs. Your CTO, Chief Architect, Principal Engineer, Staff Engineer, or other accountable leader records the decision.
Accepted decisions preserve decision maker, rationale, consensus state, assumptions, and consequences.
