PlausibleBA

Describe your business.
See your operating model.

Paste meeting notes, a project brief, or any business description. Get a BIZBOK-grounded capability map, concept model, and value stream — validated and ready for stakeholder review in minutes. Free. No install required.

How it works

From description to operating model in three steps.

No specialist tooling. No training. No install. Just paste what you know about the business.

1

Paste your discovery content

Meeting notes, a business description, a project charter, a pitch deck — anything that describes how the organisation operates. The more context, the richer the output.

2

Generate your operating model

PlausibleBA applies BIZBOK-grounded methodology to extract a capability hierarchy, classify business objects using the Capsicum Triad, and map staged value delivery — with cross-validation built in.

3

Explore, export, or pipeline to VCC

Review interactive visualisations for all three artefacts. Download as XLSX workbooks or export the ba-skills-bundle.json for direct import into the Value Cognition Canvas for friction analysis and workshopping.

What you get

Three artefacts. One conversation.

Each artefact cross-validates the others. Every business object should ground at least one capability. Every capability should appear in at least one value stream stage.

Capability Map

What the organisation can do

A MECE capability hierarchy grounded in BIZBOK. L1–L3 with Execution and Governance domains distinguished. Validated at every level.

Output: Interactive treemap + XLSX workbook
Concept Model

What the organisation manages

Business objects classified as Party, Record, or Resource using the Capsicum Triad. Lifecycle states per object. Cross-validated against the capability map.

Output: Interactive concept graph + XLSX workbook
Value Stream

How the organisation delivers value

Staged value delivery with outcome chain, capability-to-stage mapping, and PPIT breakdown. Exports ba-skills-bundle.json for VCC pipeline import.

Output: Interactive stage view + XLSX + JSON bundle
The methodology

BIZBOK-grounded. Not just formatted.

Without a methodology, asking any AI to draw a capability map produces a list. PlausibleBA embeds structured elicitation, MECE validation, and schema-validated outputs — because the methodology is baked in, not bolted on.

BIZBOK-grounded

Capability naming conventions, Execution/Governance split, and value stream anatomy from the Business Architecture Guild — not invented on the fly.

Capsicum Triad classification

Business objects classified as Party, Record, or Resource — grounded in REA theory (McCarthy 1982) and Bunge's ontology. Every object must ground at least one capability.

VCC pipeline-ready

Every output exports a schema-validated ba-skills-bundle.json that imports directly into the Value Cognition Canvas for friction analysis and workshopping.
