Architect: Analyzing Processes

Map dependencies, identify gaps, and surface improvement opportunities.

Architect synthesizes all documented workflows into a unified view, mapping dependencies across departments, identifying documentation gaps, and surfacing ranked improvement opportunities. Run Architect after your team has completed multiple Scout sessions.

Running an Analysis

1
Click Architect in the left sidebar.
2
Click the settings icon (top right) to configure labor rates and provide analysis instructions (e.g., focus areas, team context, initiative goals).
3
Click Run Analysis. Choose whether to build on a previous analysis or start fresh.

Analysis Settings

In the settings panel, you can configure:

  • Labor rate — Used to calculate annual savings for each opportunity (e.g., $25/hour).
  • Process analysis instructions — Natural language instructions to focus the analysis on specific areas, modules, or initiatives.

You can re-run the analysis at any time with updated settings. Choose "Build on previous analysis" to refine, or start fresh for a clean run.

Overview — Process Hierarchy

The default view organizes all discovered processes by department, showing documentation coverage, process counts, and identified gaps at a glance. Click any process to see its full details, linked SOPs, and dependencies.

Gap Analysis

The Gap Analysis tab highlights processes that were referenced during interviews but lack their own documentation. Each gap includes a description, affected department, and a suggested action to close it. This ensures no critical process falls through the cracks.

Process Chains

The Process Chains view maps end-to-end workflows that span multiple departments, revealing how processes hand off between teams. This is essential for identifying bottlenecks and automation opportunities at handoff points. You can generate a Combined SOP for any process chain to get a single end-to-end document.

Exporting Architect Data

All Architect outputs — overview, gaps, opportunities, roadmap, and fit/gap results — can be exported to Excel or CSV using the Export button in the top-right corner. Export all data at once or individual tabs.
