Schema-to-Screen — TOGAF architecture design
The Architecture Development Method applied to one product: agentic, RAG-grounded generation of GraphQL contracts and on-demand React UI over thousands of tables. One page per phase, every diagram responsive — SVG figures scale to any screen and can be zoomed; maps, matrices and catalogs reflow.
NavigatorThe ADM wheel — click a phase
Tailored for a product architecture: Phases A–D carry the design diagrams; E and F carry the transition roadmap; G and H are expressed as the platform's own gates and drift handling. Requirements Management sits in the centre and traces to every gate.

How to readConventions used across the set
Colour = concern
Blue — generation agents and orchestration · Teal — grounding (catalog, policy) · Green — verification · Amber — human decisions · Pink — governed runtime · Grey — data and external actors.
Status tags
NEW capability or component introduced by Schema-to-Screen · ENHANCED existing capability changed · EXISTING unchanged, integrated.
Any device
SVG figures scale to width; use the Fit / 150% / 200% buttons on a phone, then scroll inside the figure. Grids, matrices and catalogs reflow to one column below ~640px. Print produces one figure per block.
Honesty
This is a target architecture for a reference implementation. Counts and metrics are design targets, not measurements. The worked scenario (Customer Success account-risk 360) is generic and synthetic.
