Capture context
Use Meridian to document systems, decisions, risks, integrations, data concerns, and open questions.
How it works
A practical path from uncertainty to informed architecture action.
Start by capturing context in Meridian. Then determine whether the concern can be handled internally or would benefit from expert architectural support.
Surface concerns
Identify gaps, unresolved decisions, assumptions, constraints, and areas requiring architectural attention.
Assess the need
Determine whether the concern can be resolved internally or would benefit from expert interpretation.
Add support
Bring in Resolving Architecture when review, facilitation, design leadership, or strategy is needed.
Lightweight by design
Meridian creates a better starting point before deeper support begins.
Instead of starting every conversation from a blank page, Meridian helps establish shared context. That makes internal review easier and expert advisory support more focused when it is needed.
When to add expert support
Use support when architectural complexity needs interpretation.
When risks are unclear
Expert support can help assess architectural risk, trade-offs, dependencies, and likely consequences.
When decisions affect multiple teams
Support can help facilitate alignment across product, engineering, security, data, and leadership groups.
When modernization choices are complex
Guidance can help clarify sequencing, target architecture, integration strategy, and transition planning.
