Map it. Prove it.
Fund it.
Struvera EA Studio keeps your capabilities, systems, data, integrations, designs, gaps and projects in one linked model that you edit in the app. It checks itself, shows what breaks if you retire a system, and builds the business case from the same data. One architect pays $49 a month. A whole company pays $8,000 a year, flat.
The landscape is real. Your record of it isn't.
Most organisations run their architecture the same way: a Visio diagram nobody trusts, a spreadsheet three people have a different copy of, and a business case rebuilt from scratch every funding cycle.
One published example of a single negotiated per-application EA platform deal — a 300-application portfolio. Individual deals vary.

Survey of vendors' published feature lists, July 2026Three steps. No install, no six-week rollout.
Set up your organisation
Pick one of 8 sector templates in Organisation Setup, or bring your own model from Excel, JSON or an ArchiMate 3.2 file. Your own capability groups, your own lifecycle, in minutes.
Edit it in the app
Add and edit capabilities, systems, data objects, TIME decisions, gaps, roadmap items, projects, integrations and designs. Every view updates at once. On a team, colleagues join as admin, editor or viewer.
Check it, explain it, present it
The Executive Summary checks the model against itself. Change Impact 360 shows what breaks if you retire a system. The Business Case Builder and Present mode turn the same data into a board paper. Take it out as Excel, JSON or ArchiMate at any time.
Everything an architecture practice uses, in one linked model.
For the individual architect or consultant
Replace the spreadsheet, the Visio file and the slide deck with one model you can defend. One seat, $49 a month, and you can take your data out as Excel, JSON or ArchiMate whenever you like.
For the architecture team
One shared model for the whole organisation, with admin, editor and viewer roles, version history and an audit trail. $8,000 a year flat, never per seat and never per application.
One linked model
Capabilities, systems, data objects, processes, integrations, design documents, gaps, roadmap, projects and standards all point at each other. Change one and every view follows.
Edit in the app
Add and edit capabilities, systems, data objects, TIME decisions, gaps (Open, In progress, Closed), roadmap items, projects, integrations and designs. Viewers get read-only access.
An Executive Summary that checks itself
A traceability check flags what does not add up: a high gap with no plan, a Migrate system with no project, a stale design. Download the chase list as a CSV.
Capability heatmap, six lenses
Colour the same map by fulfilment, maturity, criticality, gaps, plan or design. Open any capability to see its owner, target maturity and planned change.
Change Impact 360
Ask “What breaks if we retire it?” See the capabilities left with no system, the integrations to re-point, the data to move, the processes, projects and designs affected. Export it as CSV or print the design-authority pack.
Integration Catalogue & Design Library
Every interface and every design document in one place, with its owner and a freshness date, so you can see what has gone stale.
Investment & IT portfolio
Projects with statuses, dependencies and date checks. A project that starts before its dependency ends is flagged, and so are cycles and dependencies on cancelled work.
Business Case Builder
The Five Case Model with live NPV and BCR, and an 18-gate readiness score that shows what a review board will flag. Present mode turns it into a boardroom deck with nothing to maintain.
TOGAF views & Diagram Studio
TOGAF-style views generated from the model. Draw landscape and data-flow diagrams and export editable draw.io XML, SVG or PNG.
Organisation Setup, 8 sector templates
Start from a sector template with fictional demo data, or set up your own capability groups. Replace the demo rows with yours.
Open formats, no lock-in
Excel and JSON round-trip. ArchiMate 3.2 import and export, written to the Open Group exchange schema (XSD-valid). We have not yet tested opening the export in other modelling tools, so check it in yours before you rely on it.
Plain-English Help, AI on your terms
Help is built in, so a new capability owner can learn the tool in ten minutes. AI Assist is off until you enter your own endpoint, and it shows the exact outbound text before anything is sent.
On the roadmap, not in this build: TOGAF ADM artifact generation, comments and @mentions, an approval workflow, named baselines, a public API, native connectors, and real calendar dates on the roadmap (it uses month numbers today).
The half of the category nobody else built.
NPV, BCR and payback — computed, not eyeballed.
Strategic, Economic, Commercial, Financial and Management cases, structured to the HM Treasury Green Book Five Case Model. Every option's arithmetic is one click from the formula that produced it.
- Options appraisal with ±20% benefits sensitivity — the standard optimism-bias check
- Benefits realisation register: no owner, no baseline, no target means no benefit
- Risk and change-impact registers, seedable straight from the live landscape
Know what the review board will flag — before they do.
18 gates across all five cases, scored live: has the problem statement been written, is a preferred option flagged, does every benefit have an owner, are service outcomes and governance defined. Ship a business case that survives Gateway review the first time.
- Every gate names the workbook sheet and key that satisfies it — evidence, not a tick
- Change-impact and risk registers live in the same workbook as the landscape they describe
- Readiness, options arithmetic and the exec summary all recompute from one data model
Every capability, system and data object — one graph away.
Drag any node, zoom into a cluster, click through from a data standard to the object it governs, to the capability that consumes it, to the system that runs it. The whole chain, live — not a static diagram someone drew once and forgot to update.
- Filter by capability group or relationship layer — standards, objects, capabilities, systems
- Click any node for its full detail and every connection, without leaving the graph
What would Struvera be worth to you?
The same NPV formula the Business Case Builder uses on your architecture data, run here on your team's reconciliation effort. Move the sliders — nothing is sent anywhere; this runs entirely in your browser.
You’re not pricing a tool against an $8,000-a-year Team plan — you’re pricing the risk of getting a multi-million-dollar capital decision wrong. Against that, the fixed sprint fee is a rounding error. Anchor to the decision, not the tooling.
Illustrative, using the same annuity method as the in-product Business Case Builder: (1−(1+r)⁻ᴺ)÷r at r=7%, N=3 years. Replace with your own figures inside Struvera for a defensible, auditable number.
You're not choosing between vendors. You're choosing between an hour of setup and another year of drift.
| Struvera | Spreadsheets & Visio | Typical per-app EA platform | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Flat per organisation ($8,000/yr Team), or $49/month for one architect. Never per seat or per app | "Free" — hidden reconciliation cost | Scales with app count |
| Where data lives | Your infrastructure (offline edition) or our Cloudflare-hosted service (hosted), with free export on every plan | Scattered across owners | Vendor's cloud |
| Business case | Built in — Five Case Model, live NPV | Rebuilt by hand each cycle | Not on published feature lists (July 2026) |
| Gap detection | Inferred automatically from the data | Whoever remembers to ask | Manual tagging |
| Views & diagrams | Every generated view + editable draw.io export | Hand-drawn, drift within weeks | Locked to the vendor's canvas |
| AI features | BYO endpoint, redacted by default, preview before send | None | Vendor-managed, data leaves your network |
| Transition planning | TIME dispositions + wave roadmap, built in | A slide someone maintains | Add-on modules, extra licence |
| Time to first value | Minutes — open the app with no sign-up, or start the free trial | N/A — always "in progress" | Weeks of configuration |
Built for any sector. Tested by someone who'd never seen it before.
Verification record — automated integrity suite
Every foreign key resolves. Every capability has a system for every vertical. Every funding-readiness gate has evidence behind it — re-verified by thousands of automated checks on every single build.
That statement is the output of the build validator, not a testimonial — a broken cross-reference fails the build before it can reach a screen. Separately, the template-driven workflow behind Struvera was validated in a cold-start usability test: a non-technical operations manager filled in the workbook using only the built-in README and was productive in under 90 minutes. The full package was then hardened through a five-lens adversarial review — legal, security, sales, delivery and technical due-diligence.
What is true today, and what is still being switched on.
Your own workspace
Each organisation has its own isolated workspace. Roles are admin, editor and viewer. Invites are tied to one email address and expire in 7 days.
Saves that cannot overwrite
Saves are conflict-checked, so a second person is stopped before they overwrite the first. Version history and an audit trail record who changed what.
Your data is never locked
Export to Excel and JSON is free on every plan, including after a trial ends. ArchiMate 3.2 export is there too.
Locked-down web app
The Content Security Policy is pinned by script hash, and HSTS is on, in the hosted app.
Offline edition
One file you self-host or run air-gapped. It makes no network calls in normal use. AI Assist is the only path that can send data out, and it is off until you enter an endpoint.
Accessibility checked in-house
We checked the app against WCAG 2.1 AA ourselves. That is our own check, not an independent audit.
Verified sign-in with MFA
Sign-in today is by email during early access. Verified sign-in with multi-factor authentication, through an identity provider, is being switched on.
SSO
Single sign-on comes with the identity provider. It is part of the Enterprise plan once it is on.
Online card payment
Until it is live, subscriptions are invoiced. When it is, card payments will run through Stripe.
No certifications yet
We do not hold SOC 2, ISO 27001 or IRAP certification, and we do not claim WCAG 2.2. If you need one of these today, use the offline edition and run your own review.
Region pinning
Hosted data sits in Cloudflare’s network. Choosing a region is on the roadmap, not offered yet.
Features still to build
Comments and @mentions, an approval workflow, named baselines, a public API and native connectors are not built yet.
Free for 30 days. Then a flat price, never per seat.
Every hosted plan starts with a 30-day free trial. No card. Prices are in AUD, excluding GST.

Pre-Programme Decision Sprint
The defensible answer to — should we even fund the six-figure programme?
- We ingest your Excel or CMDB export
- A resolved, trust-scored model and a fundable Five-Case, NPV and BCR business case
- Delivered as one offline, board-ready file licensed to your organisation
- First engagement? A four-week design-partner pilot is $35k fixed
Your data exports are never locked: Excel and JSON export is free on every plan, including after a trial ends. During the trial, board-ready outputs carry an evaluation mark; your data exports never do. Until online card payment is live, subscriptions are invoiced. The offline edition is a single file that makes no network calls in normal use (AI Assist is the only path that can send data out, and it is off until you enter an endpoint). It is licensed to your organisation for internal use with an Enterprise plan, a Decision Sprint or a design-partner pilot. The public app is an evaluation copy on sample data; if a hosted trial is not an option for you, ask for an evaluation-licensed offline build. The hosted edition gives each organisation its own isolated workspace. Sign-in is by email during early access; verified sign-in with MFA, and SSO, are being switched on. Region pinning is on the roadmap. SOC 2, ISO 27001 and IRAP are not held.
