For engineering leaders who need one shared picture before the next big decision, SPAN delivers a reviewed, current-state model of your architecture in weeks.
Which services would be affected if Service X went down?
Most teams can’t answer that in under a day. That’s not a documentation problem — it’s a decision-making problem.
About 30% of the services we assess have no identified current owner.
What changes with a current service model
Better context leads to better decisions.
Your team stops arguing about what's deployed
One reviewed model replaces a dozen conflicting diagrams and years of tribal knowledge.
Your AI tools get useful context
AI agents are only as good as the architectural information they can access. A structured, current model is the highest-fidelity input they can get.
New leaders get up to speed fast
A CTO onboarding or inheriting a platform shouldn't spend six months reconstructing what exists.
Decisions happen faster
M&A due diligence. Modernization planning. Post-merger consolidation. Each one needs a current-state baseline to move off.
How we deliver
Fixed-price. Two to six weeks, sized by service count.
1
Inception
We define your primary strategic question, identify what's in scope, and draft a preliminary service inventory from your existing infrastructure sources before the first SME session.
2
Discovery
Parallel workstreams: structured sessions with your engineers plus automated collection from code repositories, API gateways, and observability tools. AI-assisted, human-reviewed at every step.
3
Synthesis
We reconcile everything into a final model: service inventory, dependency map, technology stack classification, and a structured analysis with findings, observations, and recommendations.
What we hand over
Here’s what you get from the engagement
The model
Service inventory with named owners, priorities, and architectural layers, plus a runtime dependency map.
The stack
A full technology classification across languages, platforms, and infrastructure.
The analysis
Findings, observations, and recommendations structured around your specific strategic question.
When you need it
Engineering leaders need a current architectural picture before any major decision.
Modernizations and cloud migration kick offs
M&A due diligence with a fixed timeline
Post-merger integrations where two architectures need to be one
AI initiatives that needs real architectural context to move forward
Get the model your team has been meaning to build. In weeks, not quarters.
