CONCEPTLearn › Concepts › PlatformArchitectural DriftThe silent, incremental divergence between agreed architectural intent and what actually ships — now accelerating as AI coding tools multiply PR volume beyond review capacity.CONCEPTLearn › Concepts › Architecture LedgerArchitectural DebtArchitectural debt is two things — the drift that crept in silently and the risk your team approved knowingly — and today only one of them has an owner or a cost.METRICLearn › Metrics › L3ADI · Architecture Drift IndexNormalised 0.0–1.0 measure of drift severity.PRODUCTLearn › PagesArchitecture LedgerThe system as approved, kept current from your repos.GUIDELearn › Guides › CTOCTO Architecture Health PlaybookA CTO's weekly check on architecture health, board-ready DHS reporting, AI adoption governance via ADRIFT, and knowing when to escalate.GUIDELearn › Guides › ArchitectChief Architect PlaybookHow chief architects author Lenses, triage blocked PRs, run weekly conformance reviews, grow Governance Depth, and govern AI coding agents with rkito.ROLELearn › Pages › ArchitectChief architectsLens authoring, conformance review and blocked-PR triage.ARTICLELearn › Blog › CTOYou approved the AI tools. Now own what they ship.Velocity is up. Architecture conformance is unmeasured. Accountability is diffuse. The board question is coming — and right now you don't have an answer.ARTICLELearn › Blog › CSOYour security policies exist. They are not enforced.SAST catches code vulnerabilities. Nobody catches design-level security violations before they ship. AWS Well-Architected, OWASP, ISO 27001 — enforced at the PR gate for the first time.ARTICLELearn › Blog › ArchitectYour diagrams are inert. Your ADRs are unenforced.The architecture practice is not broken — it is running on the wrong infrastructure for the era. Scale advisory, enforcement, and system state awareness without adding headcount.ARTICLELearn › Blog › SREYour 3am alarm started with a silent drift.The incident didn't start at 3am. It started three sprints ago, when an AI agent crossed a service boundary nobody reviewed. Technical debt is visible. Architectural drift is invisible — until 3am.CONCEPTLearn › Concepts › PlatformDesign ContinuityDesign Continuity is a formula — Rails plus Change Control plus Conformance — architectural intent that is known, measured, and audited automatically at the full pace of change.CONCEPTLearn › Concepts › PlatformAI Writes the Code, Who Governs DesignAI coding tools have multiplied engineering velocity but not architectural judgment — what agentic engineering means, and why design conformance can no longer be an afterthought.CONCEPTLearn › Concepts › PlatformShift Left, Shift RightCDA catches architectural violations at the PR; MCP prevents them before the first line is written — how governed agentic development closes the loop on both ends.CONCEPTLearn › Concepts › Security & GovernanceSecDevOps in the Agentic EraSAST and dependency scanning miss design-level security exposure. Why enforcing architectural intent at every PR is the only way to do SecDevOps when AI agents write the code.CONCEPTLearn › Concepts › Change ControlDesign Review vs. Code ReviewCode review asks whether code passes; design review asks whether a decision conforms to architectural intent — two distinct mechanisms, and why one cannot substitute for the other.CONCEPTLearn › Concepts › Human FactorsCognitive Debt in the Agentic EraAs AI multiplies the rate of architectural decisions, no architect's cognitive capacity can keep pace — a structural human limit, not a discipline problem, that scales with every AI tool adopted.CONCEPTLearn › Concepts › CDAContinuous Design AuditThe automated, per-PR process that checks every code change against approved architectural intent at CI/CD speed — how it works, and why 'continuous' is the key word.METRICLearn › Metrics › L1GD · Governance DepthHow many architectural rules are machine-readable and enforced on every PR?METRICLearn › Metrics › L2PCR · Pillar Conformance RatePass rate of Lens evaluations per architectural domain.METRICLearn › Metrics › L5AFPR · Agent False Positive Rate% of Lens findings on agent PRs dismissed by an architect, vs. human PRs.GUIDELearn › Guides › CSOCSO Security PlaybookA CSO's guide to architectural security conformance, audit evidence from the CDA pipeline, and governing AI-generated security-relevant code with rkito.GUIDELearn › Guides › SRESRE Operational PlaybookHow SREs use UDR and ADRIFT as pre-incident signals, trace architectural root cause after an incident, and monitor AGVR governance bypass.ROLELearn › Pages › CTOCTOsArchitecture health for the board, AI governance risk, when to escalate.ROLELearn › Pages › SRESREsArchitectural risk, incident root cause and agent drift signals.
