PlausibleBA for Claude Cowork

Just enough business architecture.
For every BA, on every project.

Three slash commands that turn any business description into a capability map, concept model, and value stream — BIZBOK-grounded, validated, and ready for stakeholder review in minutes.

Three skills

One conversation.
A complete operating model slice.

Each skill guides you through structured elicitation with validation checkpoints, then renders an interactive visualisation — no specialist tooling required.

/capability-map

BA Capability Mapping

Produces a MECE capability hierarchy grounded in BIZBOK. L1–L3 with Execution and Governance domains distinguished. Two validation checkpoints.

Output: Interactive treemap + XLSX workbook
/concept-model

BA Concept Model

Classifies business objects using the Capsicum Triad — Party, Record, Resource. Cross-validates against the capability map. Lifecycle states per object.

Output: Interactive concept graph + XLSX workbook
/value-stream

BA Value Streams

Maps 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
How it works

From business description
to structured artefacts

1

Open a new Cowork task

Start fresh — paste any business description, pitch deck, project brief, or discovery transcript.

2

Run a slash command

Type /capability-map, /concept-model, or /value-stream. The skill guides you through structured elicitation with two validation checkpoints.

3

Review the interactive output

An interactive visualisation renders automatically — treemap, concept graph, or stage view. No clicks required.

4

Export or pipeline to VCC

Download an XLSX workbook, or export the ba-skills-bundle.json for direct import into the Value Cognition Canvas for facilitated workshopping.

Run all three in sequence
/capability-map
→ MECE hierarchy · treemap renders
/concept-model
→ Object taxonomy · cross-validates
/value-stream
→ Stage view · PPIT · JSON export
All three cross-validate each other. Every object should ground at least one capability. Every capability should appear in at least one value stream stage.
Then take it further

Export your ba-skills-bundle.json and upload it to the PlausibleBA Canvas to see your full operating model rendered interactively — shareable, no login required.

The methodology

BIZBOK-grounded. Not just formatted.

Without the skills, asking Claude to draw a capability map produces a list. With PlausibleBA, you get structured elicitation, MECE validation, and schema-validated outputs — because the methodology is embedded in the skill.

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.
