Continuous Architecture Alignment Framework
The apex document. Governs all other MGP documents.
Mandantis sits above and around established EA frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman, BAGuild). Those frameworks solve the design problem. Mandantis solves the drift problem — every system build, agent deployment, and governance decision is tracked autonomously against the Business Architecture. Divergence detected continuously. Governed decisions surface when intervention is required.
Key concepts
- The four BA elements are: Capability Map, Value Streams, Information Map, Organisation Map (BAGuild/TOGAF standard)
- Every Claude Code build decision must reference a BA element and an EA decision
- No EA decision without a BA reference. No build without an EA decision.
- CAA loop: BA → EA → Build → Monitor → Divergence → Governed Decision → BA Update
- TOGAF Phase H (Architecture Change Management) made autonomous and continuous
- Mandantis does not replace TOGAF — it is the operating layer that keeps TOGAF architectures alive
