About this product

Who it is for

Architecture practice leads at banks, insurers, fund managers and market participants, and the compliance, risk and audit leads who must evidence architecture governance. The product assumes a firm with several architecture descriptions, a method that may not distinguish architecture design from solution design, and a committee that asks when the new standard lands.

Who publishes it

The Art of Service, founded by Gerard Blokdyk. Contact support@theartofservice.com. The business address is in Queensland, Australia. The product is built and run from the estate's own infrastructure: Cloudflare Pages for the site, Supabase in Sydney for accounts, Stripe for payment and ElasticEmail for product mail.

How it is built

Every page is generated from one reviewed record. The record carries the citation, the claim level, the requirement in our words, the evidence line and the source pointer. The overlap check tests every authored field against the held source before deploy. The refresh script fails loudly if the public record moves.

What it will not do

It will not reproduce the standard, sell the standard, certify a firm, promise a publication date, or tell a regulator that a firm complies. Where the public record is silent, the page says so.

Editorial standard

Dates are ISO dates and are labelled as estimates where they are estimates. Definitions are our own words, not quotations. A change to the record is logged on the change log and emailed to watch subscribers.
