The problem

No one knows, with certainty, what exists in the IT estate

The picture of your applications lives in outdated spreadsheets, dead wikis, and the memory of a few key people. Simple questions go unanswered with any confidence: What's critical? What's obsolete? Who owns each system? What does this project impact?

The consequence is expensive: blind investment decisions, invisible security risks, slow audits, and dependence on a handful of heroes.

The cost of not knowing
Duplicate systems and forgotten licenses
End-of-life technology discovered too late
Slow onboarding for new teams
Compliance and audits starting from scratch every time
The solution

One single source of truth for the company's architecture

Every link is navigable and auditable: from the strategic objective down to the code repository of the artifact that supports it — and back.

1

Strategy

Towers, strategic objectives, and initiatives.

2

Business

Capability map across 4 levels (L0 to L3).

3

Applications

C4 inventory: application, provider, component, artifact.

4

Governance

Decisions (ADR), deviations, requirements, and releases.

Built-in methodology: TOGAF (phases A–H), C4 Model, ADRs, and traceability are part of the product, not a separate manual.

Executive layer

10 reports that answer before the question is asked

The data your inventory already collects — criticality, lifecycle, exposure, owners — becomes executive-level insight with one click, filterable by tower and segment.

Technology Radar

Lifecycle-stage maturity, Tech Radar style — market view, powered by your company's own data.

Technology Obsolescence

Real end-of-support dates (endoflife.date) cross-referenced with the artifacts that still depend on them.

Criticality × Business Impact

A matrix that plots how critical an application is against the size of the impact if it fails.

TIME Portfolio

Tolerate / Invest / Migrate / Eliminate classification — the same model used by market analysts.

Impact Analysis

Select a system or a tower and see the blast radius: affected domains, applications, and critical artifacts.

+ 5 more reports

Landscape by domain, security exposure, governance (ownership and offboarding), portfolio distribution, and obsolescence risk.

Everything your architecture team needs

From technical inventory to strategic governance, in one integrated platform.

C4 Technical Inventory

Register and browse Applications, Containers, Components, and Artifacts organized across the 4 levels of the C4 Model. With custom fields per entity.

Initiatives and Projects

Manage initiatives by project type (Business, Solution, Data), owners, budget, status, and links to strategic objectives.

ADR — Architecture Decisions

Record Architecture Decision Records with context, decision, consequences, and alternatives. With automatic supersession between related ADRs.

Non-Conformities

Track architectural deviations by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low), root cause, corrective action, deadline, and evidence.

C4 Diagram Editor

Create diagrams with custom C4 stencils, automatic versioning, revision history, and direct links to the inventory.

Business Functions

Hierarchical business capability map (L0 → L1 → L3) linked to the applications and containers that support each function.

Solution Documentation

Integrated wiki with a rich-text editor to produce the Solution Document and the Technical Architecture Documents.

Towers and Strategic Objectives

Organize initiatives under strategic objectives, grouped by towers. Link budget, sponsors, and squads to the strategic chain.

Providers

The C4 Container level in practice: each Provider carries technology, vendor, hosting, and lifecycle — from internal APIs to contracted SaaS platforms.

Building Blocks (ABB/SBB)

A library of corporate patterns — abstract and concrete architecture building blocks — with risk notes, revision history, and editor stencils.

CMDB Importer

Bring in your current inventory from ServiceNow or CSV with score-based fuzzy deduplication and a review queue for human sign-off before publishing.

Custom fields and forms

Extend any entity with your own fields (16 types) and build forms by drag-and-drop, no code required.

Planner — Project Management

Kanban board with work items, cycles, and squads — natively linked to Initiatives and to architecture governance Ceremonies.

Governance Ceremonies

Architecture approval committees with submissions, a voting board, and decision versioning — the governance ritual itself, not just a record of it.

Automatic Discovery

Live connectors to Microsoft Entra ID, Azure Resource Graph, and Kong — the inventory updates itself instead of relying on manual entry.

Real proof

Not just a description — it's the actual screen

Two features from the grid above, shown exactly as they appear in the product.

Inventory structured across the 4 C4 levels

Every entity in the platform maps directly to a C4 level — from the system as a whole down to the code artifact.

1

Application — System Context

A view of the system and its external actors. Groups child containers.

2

Container (Provider) — APIs, Databases, Frontends

Deployable units with technology, hosting, and lifecycle.

3

Component / Domain

Internal modules of a container, mapped to business functions.

4

Artifact — Workers, Libs, APIs

Technical units with repository, pipeline, SLA, and RPO/RTO.

Native AI

Gnarus: the architecture copilot built into the product

AI agents with your organization's own knowledge, right in the workflow — not a separately billed add-on.

Agents configurable by your company

Model, temperature, prompt, starter questions, and visibility — no data team required.

Context from corporate documents

The copilot answers using your organization's own standards, not generic knowledge.

Skills, chat, and MCP connectors

Conversation history and integration with external systems via MCP.

Multi-provider

Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq, or your own endpoint — keys always encrypted (AES-256).

Market data, not guesswork

Answers about end-of-support use real dates synced from endoflife.date — the same kind of data Technopedia charges extra for.

Connected to your company's ecosystem

Public API, webhooks/Teams, automatic discovery (Entra ID, Azure), Jira/Azure DevOps integration, and a native OData feed for Power BI — no spreadsheet exports.

Architecture Governance

Process and control built into the inventory

The platform isn't just a catalog — it embeds the governance mechanisms that guarantee traceability and compliance of architectural decisions.

ADR

Architecture Decision Records

Document every architectural decision with context, rejected alternatives, and consequences. ADRs can supersede one another with full traceability.

NC

Non-Conformities

Record deviations from the architecture standard with severity, root cause, corrective action, and deadline. Status flow: Open → In Progress → Resolved.

Solution Document

Solution Document

Integrated wiki to produce the initiative's Solution Document with a rich-text editor, versioning, and controlled publishing.

Architecture Document

Technical Architecture Document

Technical documents nested under the Solution, covering specific domains — organized as a tree within each initiative.

Full Traceability

From strategy to code artifact

Every element in the platform is part of a traceability chain that connects business decisions to technical implementations.

Strategy → code
Tower → Objective → Initiative → Diagram → Application → Container → Artifact
Requirements traceability
BR — Business → AR — Architecture → DR — Design → TR — Technical

Fully auditable end to end — every technical requirement traces back to the business need it came from.

Workspaces isolate portfolio subsets by team or domain

Diagrams stay linked to the inventory's containers and artifacts

Releases track which artifacts changed in each delivery

Business Functions linked to the containers that support them

Painless Migration

Your current inventory loads in minutes, not months

CMDB importer with assisted deduplication — no manual spreadsheets, no repeated data entry.

1

Upload

Upload a ServiceNow export or a CSV from your current CMDB/spreadsheet.

2

Fuzzy deduplication

The importer compares and scores similar records, flagging likely duplicates by score.

3

Review queue

Human review before publishing — nothing enters the inventory without confirmation.

GovHub — New

API governance, built into the inventory

With competitors, cataloging and governing APIs means a second platform, bought separately. In Gnarus, it's a module that already talks to the rest of the inventory.

OpenAPI editor with governance linting

Your organization's rules applied in real time — documentation, design, and security scored by dimension.

Semantic versioning gate

Breaking changes get blocked until they become a major version.

Shadow APIs and gateway drift

Routes exposed outside the catalog go into an automatic regularization queue.

Ecosystem

Connected to whoever already works with your architecture

Public MCP Server

81 tools that open the inventory to external AI agents — a corporate AI assistant can query the company's architecture in natural language, using a personal token as credential.

Corporate wiki

Company documentation organized into workspaces and pages, with versioning and unified login — alongside the TOGAF documentation per initiative.

Positioning

A superior method, at a fraction of the cost.

Spreadsheets don't scale. Global application portfolio platforms solve the inventory problem — but treat TOGAF, requirements traceability, and AI as an exception or an add-on.

Feature Spreadsheets Gnarus Platform Global platforms
Native TOGAF documentation (phases A–H) No Yes Rare
BR → TR requirements traceability No Yes No
Formal ADRs with supersession chain No Yes Rare
Native AI in the workflow No Yes Add-on
Affordable for the mid-market Yes (but doesn't scale) Yes No
Plans

Grow at your own pace — pay for what you use

Two pricing axes combined: how many people use the platform, and how many systems you've mapped in it. The architecture and AI core come standard in every plan — never an upsell.

By named user

Administrator and Architect count in full; Manager counts as 0.7×; Viewer is unlimited from Professional up — broad visibility shouldn't be what blocks your team's adoption.

By CMDB asset

Tiers by number of registered Systems (up to 100 · up to 500 · up to 2,000 · custom) — reflects your portfolio's real coverage, not just how many logins exist.

Starter

The first architecture team structuring the portfolio.

Custom pricing1 Administrator + 4 Architects · up to 15 Viewers
  • EA/CMDB core + TOGAF A–H + traceability
  • AI (Gnarus) with a monthly usage limit

Talk to the team

Seat composition is a starting point, not a ceiling: every plan lets you buy extra seats by profile, and no module requires a full plan upgrade just to try a single feature. Talk to the team for a proposal calibrated to the size of your portfolio.

Security and trust

Access control and compliance, in production

What's already live — and what's on the way, no empty promises.

Corporate SSO (OIDC/SAML) + SCIM

Federated login with automatic user provisioning, at no extra cost — validated end to end against a real identity provider in production.

Verifiable audit trail

Every change is recorded in a hash chain — if anyone tampers with a record, the break is detected automatically. A dedicated console for querying and exporting.

Multi-workspace and roles

Workspaces isolate portfolio subsets; OWNER, ADMIN, MEMBER, and VIEWER roles control what each person sees and edits.

Revocable sessions

Short-lived access tokens with automatic renewal; any session can be terminated remotely from the "My Sessions" screen.

Encrypted secrets

AI provider keys and external integration secrets are always encrypted (AES-256), never in plain text.

LGPD by default

Contact data capture with explicit consent and a published privacy policy.

A public, honest roadmap: SSO, SCIM, and the audit trail above are already in production. Still in progress: named certification with Okta and Microsoft Entra (today: compatible with any open OIDC/SAML provider) and formal certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001) — nothing on this page describes a feature that doesn't exist yet.

Our vision

Born in Brazil, built for the world

Gnarus's advantages aren't local — the TOGAF method, end-to-end traceability, and native AI hold up in any market. We invest in three layers at once, so each one funds and validates the next.

A product ready for the world

Native English, Spanish, and Italian

Interface and user guide already available in 4 languages. Next steps: API documented in English (OpenAPI), data residency aligned with LGPD/GDPR, and the first formal certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001).

A method, not just a tool

Operational TOGAF as a lasting edge

While global leaders sell inventory, Gnarus embeds the process — TOGAF, traceability, and ADRs are part of the product. We keep investing here before competing purely on feature lists.

Proof before the leap

Every new customer validates the next market

We started with mid-size and large Brazilian companies that global leaders ignore on price. Measurable reference cases come before each expansion — Latin America first, then beyond.

"The path exists — other enterprise architecture platforms started regional and became global standards within a decade. We have the method and the native AI they didn't have at the starting line."

Frequently asked questions

FAQ
