Integration architecture you can defend in a review

For architects who have to justify a platform choice, an operating model and a cost envelope — with evidence rather than a vendor deck.

What the architecture line covers

The decision, then the diagram

Trade-off matrices for the choices that actually shape an estate — layering, coupling, ownership and where the cost lands.

Turn governance intent into controls a delivery team can pass, and an operating model that does not need a committee for every change.

Architecture that is portable

Design so that changing gateway or platform is a decision rather than a rewrite, and prove it against a second implementation.
