Macroscope: STM Enterprise Architect Digital Talent

Macroscope: STM Enterprise Architect Digital Talent

Based on: production-lines/digital-talent/templates/macroscope-template.md Owner: Camille (Client Intake Manager) Produced for: Elena (Enterprise Architect) + IT Architecture Team Purpose: High-level vision/context that shapes design decisions Date: 2026-03-22

Vision

STM needs an Enterprise Architect agent that helps their organization design and align their IT systems with business strategy. The digital talent will serve as an internal consultant, available on-demand to help teams:

  • Assess current-state architecture
  • Design target-state systems
  • Evaluate technology choices
  • Document and communicate architecture decisions
  • Ensure alignment across silos

Operating Context

Deployment Environment

  • Where: STM's internal network (likely cloud-based SaaS or on-prem access)
  • Users: Enterprise architects, IT leaders, technical teams at STM
  • Access model: Internal tool, not client-facing

Integrations Required

  • STM's existing architecture documentation (if any)
  • STM's IT infrastructure & systems inventory
  • Potentially: CMDB, network diagrams, application portfolio
  • Email/chat integration for consulting requests

Scale & Constraints

  • Initial users: 5-10 IT leaders
  • Scalability: Must handle growth to 50+ users
  • Compliance: Likely ISO 27001, SOC 2 (check with STM)
  • Data sensitivity: High (internal architecture & strategic plans)

Success Metrics

Client Success (STM)

  • Enterprise Architect agent provides usable guidance on 80% of architecture questions
  • Average response time < 24 hours for routine consulting
  • Teams report increased confidence in architecture decisions
  • Documented architecture decisions (ADRs) created for 3+ initiatives in first 6 months

Factory Success

  • Deployed and operational by [TARGET DATE]
  • Client satisfaction score ≥ 8/10
  • Zero data breaches or compliance violations
  • Maintenance overhead < 4 hours/month

Methodology & Framework

Recommended Framework: TOGAF 9 (The Open Group Architecture Framework)

  • STM likely uses or is familiar with TOGAF
  • Well-suited for enterprise IT transformation
  • Provides structure for EA assessments and designs

Alternative frameworks to evaluate:

  • ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 (systems and software engineering architecture)
  • Zachman Framework (architecture viewpoints)
  • ArchiMate (architecture modeling language)

Framework Specialist should validate with STM which they prefer or currently use.

Key Assumptions

  • STM has an existing IT architecture (documented or implicit)
  • They have decision-making authority to implement recommendations
  • They have technical teams who can execute on designs
  • They prioritize long-term alignment over quick fixes

Questions for STM (Follow-up)

  • Which architecture frameworks is STM familiar with or using?
  • What's the primary pain point in their current architecture?
  • Are there compliance/regulatory frameworks they must follow?
  • Who is the decision-maker and stakeholder group?
  • What's the preferred integration method (email, Slack, web portal)?

Next Steps

  1. Elena (Enterprise Architect) — designs the digital talent architecture using this macroscope
  2. IT Architecture Team — validates Elena's design against macroscope
  3. Pablo (Production Line Architect) — builds the agent based on Elena's validated design
  4. Framework Specialist — provides TOGAF adaptation guide for the agent

This macroscope is the north star. Every design decision downstream should trace back to it.
