Context

Architecture output varies in quality and consumes high manual effort.

Tension

Automation that produces plausible artifacts without traceability moves the problem rather than solving it.

Scope

Traceability is enforced end to end: capability → Service Domain → API → artifact, with cross-validation rules applied between phases.

Result

An asset of supported scale. The effort model is an internal estimate, not an independently measured production saving.

Lessons

AI applied to architecture is worth measuring by artifact absorption and traceability, not by demo quality.

Evidence status

Mixed: asset scale is supported; modeled effort figures are declared estimates and are labelled as such. Outcomes not yet measured are deliberately absent.
