For the CIO and Chief Architect
Enterprise architecture describes yesterday. By the time the target-state document is signed off, the market has moved and the migration path has closed.
Not because the tools are bad. Because the model is documentation, not the executable present.
It describes the past, not the executable present.
No answer to the only question that matters: is the migration walkable?
Core choices settled at technology-lead level, not at the board.
Dependency and impact analysis that stays current instead of ageing the moment it is signed off, and a migration diagnostic that answers the real question: in which direction does the path run, and is it walkable? The output is a decision the board can take, not a document it files.
Your EA repository stays. We make it executable and continuously true. See the Executable Architecture Repository.
The 90-Day Assessment
Take one committed programme, such as a core integration. Run it through the five Decision Gates. The output: whether it should integrate to legacy or to future standards, the synchronisation-layer specification, and board-ready evidence.
Fixed price. Fixed duration. Defined deliverable. It closes by surfacing the Value gap: the ROI collision the programme is heading for.
Named patterns and a live timeline, not adjectives.
The parallel-bank diagnostic: HEDGE, WRAPPER and STRANDED patterns that decide whether a migration path is walkable.
The 2025 to 2030 RPIB timeline colliding with mid-tier integration programmes already in flight.
Proven with a regulated e-money institution running a DLT ledger from day one: legacy master, dual run, tokenised master.
The three-way-squeeze thesis anchors this in the Future Banking Observatory.
