Xtrable
Xtrable provides hands-on consulting for organisations that need to design, govern, or transform their technical architecture. We work with teams who are building systems where clarity, traceability, and long-term maintainability matter.
Our consulting is practitioner-led. We do not produce slide decks and leave. We work alongside your teams to understand, design, and implement architectural solutions grounded in decades of real-world experience.
The difference between a consultant who advises and a consultant who delivers is the difference between a diagram and a working system. We deliver.
Service Areas
Software Architecture
System decomposition, service boundaries, integration patterns, and technology selection. We help you design systems that are understandable, maintainable, and fit for purpose.
Data Architecture
Data modelling, lineage, governance, and platform design. From schema design through to enterprise data strategy, grounded in practical implementation experience.
AI Strategy and Governance
AI readiness assessment, model governance frameworks, bias detection strategy, and responsible AI implementation. Practical guidance for organisations deploying AI where transparency and accountability matter.
Specialist Capabilities
Beyond our core service areas, we bring deep expertise in several disciplines that are critical for complex enterprise programmes.
Model-first architecture
We are practitioners and advocates of model-first architecture, an approach where architecture is captured in structured, explorable models rather than static documents. This ensures that architecture knowledge is connected, traceable, and always current.
Architecture governance
Establishing governance frameworks that balance control with agility. Decision records, trade-off analysis, dependency tracking, and compliance mapping for organisations that need to demonstrate architectural accountability.
Security architecture
Threat modelling, security control design, and security architecture review. We bring a security-first mindset to system design, particularly for environments handling sensitive financial, legal, or personal data.
Technical due diligence
Architecture assessment and technology review for investment decisions, acquisitions, or major programme decisions. Independent, thorough, and focused on what matters.
Platform and integration architecture
API strategy, integration platform design, event-driven architecture, and microservices decomposition. Practical designs for systems that need to communicate reliably at scale.
How We Work
We structure our engagements to deliver real outcomes, not theoretical recommendations.
- Understand. We begin with deep discovery. We map your current architecture, identify constraints, understand your organisational context, and clarify the outcomes you need. No assumptions, no templates.
- Design. We work collaboratively with your teams to design solutions. Every recommendation is grounded in trade-off analysis and documented as traceable architectural decisions, not buried in slide decks.
- Implement. We stay involved through implementation. Whether that means hands-on architecture work, code review, or guiding your teams through delivery, we ensure designs translate into working systems.
- Transfer. We build capability, not dependency. Every engagement includes knowledge transfer, documentation, and the frameworks your teams need to maintain and evolve the architecture independently.

Backed by Our Own Tooling
Every consulting engagement is supported by NeoArc Studio, our flagship architecture platform. This means the architecture models, documentation, and governance artefacts we produce for you are not trapped in PowerPoint or Visio. They are living, explorable, version-controlled models that your teams can maintain and evolve long after our engagement ends.
Connected Models
Architecture captured as queryable, connected models rather than static diagrams. Change one element and see the impact across the entire system.
Published Documentation
Architecture documentation published as searchable, themed websites. Accessible to every stakeholder, from developers to board members.
Version-Controlled
All deliverables stored as plain-text JSON files under version control. Full history, full traceability, full independence from any vendor.
