Design
Architecture & Standards
Turn strategy into construction. Get an execution-grade blueprint: target architecture, reference designs, and guardrails. Stop reinventing the wheel and give your teams a proven pattern to build upon.
The Challenge
Most AI programs stall between pilots and scale because architectural decisions are missing, ownership is unclear, and teams lack enforceable standards. The result is fragmentation: inconsistent patterns, duplicated work, and growing operational risk.
Our Approach
We produce a blueprint teams and vendors can execute against: target architecture, reference designs, explicit guardrails, and decision records. The objective is to unblock decisions and create repeatability without forcing a platform rewrite.
Blueprints prevent fragmentation
Without a target architecture, teams invent their own patterns. This creates technical debt, security gaps, and a landscape where every pilot is a legacy system from day one.
We design for execution. A clear blueprint aligns vendors and internal teams to a shared standard—so you can build fast without building barriers to scale.
AI Transformation Journey
This phase is for the Design mode — translating decisions into executable architecture.
Design
Current FocusTranslate decisions into target architecture and reference patterns.
Key Outcomes
Execution-grade artifacts that unblock teams and create repeatability.
Target Architecture Clarity
A coherent end-state aligned to your stack and constraints. No ambiguity about what the system looks like when built correctly.
Implementable Reference Designs
Patterns for common AI/GenAI workflows with clear interfaces. Teams and vendors can execute against documented blueprints.
Guardrails That Prevent Drift
Standards and acceptance criteria that prevent fragmentation. Decisions captured as contracts that survive org changes.
Core Deliverables
Target Architecture
- Data + ML + GenAI architecture aligned to your stack
- Security, privacy, and identity boundaries
- Integration points and platform responsibilities
Reference Designs
- RAG patterns (indexing, retrieval, grounding, fallback)
- Orchestration patterns (workflow/tool use, HIL where required)
- Evaluation patterns (offline/online, acceptance criteria)
Guardrails + Standards
- Interface contracts and 'golden paths'
- Release readiness expectations and operational standards
- Ownership boundaries (platform vs product teams vs vendors)
Operating Model + Roadmap
- Decision cadence (architecture board / reviews / exceptions)
- Roadmap sequencing with dependencies and milestones
- Enablement plan to transfer patterns to teams
Blueprint outputs are built for execution by internal teams and/or vendors. AtelaMind can remain involved as design authority to validate implementations.
