Insights

Overview

Orthogramic Insights insights.orthogramic.com is an interactive visualization and analysis tool that enables real-time exploration of business architecture data. It integrates parsed information from documents into a structured business architecture model, covering all domains in the Orthogramic metamodel.

With Orthogramic Insights, users can:

• Search the business architecture over over 1,000 government organizations.

• Navigate a dynamic mindmap representing business architecture domains.

• Examine detailed relationships between capabilities, value streams, strategy, policies, initiatives, information, stakeholders, and performance measures etc.

• Engage with a contextual chat assistant to gain insights and recommendations based on the organization's business architecture data.

Core components

Organization search

To display an organisation in the mindmap and insights panel, users can begin by initiating a search via contextual chat. Chat will guide the user by requesting additional information to help accurately identify the organisation.

The system uses the following classification fields to distinguish organisations:

• Name

• Country

• State or territory (where applicable)

• Type — including Government Departments, Major Statutory Authorities, Government-Owned Corporations, and Tribunals and Commissions

• Primary activity — the main function or focus of the organisation

There are currently business architectures of over 1,300 government organisations available in the system. Business architecture data for each organisation is derived from its annual report, providing a consistent and reliable foundation for insights and comparisons.

Business architecture mindmap

Function: The mindmap provides a hierarchical and interconnected visualization of business architecture domains, enabling users to:

• Explore relationships across strategy, capabilities, value streams, policy, organization, information, initiatives, stakeholders, and performance.

• Drill down into detailed dependencies between business architecture components.

• Expand or collapse nodes to focus on specific domains or view the full business architecture landscape.

Example use cases:

• Understanding how strategic objectives align with business capabilities.

• Mapping value streams to supporting capabilities.

• Identifying dependencies between stakeholders, initiatives, and policies.

Domain selection

Insight panel

The Insight panel opens when a user selects a node.

It comprises two key components:

1. Detailed metadata of the selected mindmap node

2. Chat-based business architecture insights.

When business domain details in the Insights Panel are clicked, they are added as a focal point of the chat context and highlighted as shown below.

Open

This detailed business domain data is added to the chat context and displayed in the chat for easy reference.

Example use cases:

• Reviewing how policies influence strategy and initiatives.

• Identifying performance metrics linked to value streams and capabilities.

• Assessing organizational units responsible for executing strategic goals.

Contextual chat

Contextual chat and mindmap synchronisation

Orthogramic Chat now delivers a highly contextualised and interactive experience through seamless synchronisation with your organisation's mindmap. This integration ensures that your conversations are continually informed by relevant business architecture elements, and that the visual interface responds dynamically to the focus of the conversation.

How chat context is established

Orthogramic determines context based on your level of interaction with the mindmap. This structured approach allows the system to interpret your queries with increasing specificity:

• No selection
  If no domain, node, or metadata is selected, Orthogramic uses the entire organisational mindmap as the default context.

• Domain selection
  Selecting a domain (e.g. Capabilities, Initiatives) narrows the context to all entities within that domain across the organisation.

• Node selection
  Selecting a specific node (e.g. a particular Capability or Initiative) establishes that node as the focal point. The chat draws on its metadata and relationships to respond to queries.

• Metadata selection
  Selecting a specific metadata item (e.g. Purpose, Description, Owner) refines the context further. The response will prioritise this detail and its parent node above all else.

You may also add multiple node details to the context to explore more complex relationships or comparisons.

Two-way synchronisation between chat and mindmap

• Mindmap → Chat
  Selecting a node or metadata item in the mindmap immediately updates the context for the chat. This ensures that responses are tightly aligned to your current area of focus, using organisation-specific data to generate meaningful insights.

• Chat → Mindmap
  When you mention or inquire about a specific domain, node, or business architecture element in chat, the mindmap will automatically focus on the relevant node. If it is not already visible, the map will expand to bring it into view and highlight it, maintaining continuity across both interfaces.

This two-way synchronisation eliminates the need to repeatedly restate context, ensures relevance in all AI responses, and supports a more fluid, natural workflow for interpreting and exploring complex business models.

Example use cases

• "Which capabilities support this value stream?"

• "What initiatives align with this strategic objective?"

• "How does this policy impact compliance for this capability?"

• "Are there gaps in governance between these two related domains?"

These kinds of questions are now answered with precision, using your organisation’s actual architecture rather than generic assumptions.

Note on chat accuracy

While Orthogramic’s contextual chat delivers high relevance by leveraging structured domain data, errors can occur. Refer to the Chat errors section for more detail.

How Orthogramic Insights works

Orthogramic Insights enables users to interactively explore the business architecture of an organisation by extracting structured domain data from uploaded documents.

The process begins when a user uploads business-relevant documents such as strategies, policies, or plans. These documents are automatically processed using the Orthogramic Metamodel, which interprets and structures their content across domains such as Capabilities, Strategy, Policy, Stakeholders, and more.

This structured data is presented in Orthogramic Insights as an interactive view, allowing users to navigate the relationships between domain entities, identify coverage gaps, and understand strategic alignment. For further analysis, the domain entities can be downloaded in a JSON format for reuse in other systems or artefacts.
