How ArchRails is sold

Architecture governance for regulated engineering teams

ArchRails enforces your architecture at pull-request time and guards every AI coding agent with the same authoritative model. Built for financial-services and regulated platform teams where a missed cross-repo violation is a regulator conversation, not a refactor.

How a typical engagement works

Engagements run end-to-end on a defined repo set with your real architecture model. Enforcement, agent guardrails, replayable verdicts, and federation-aware architecture context — validated against your actual change volume, in your cloud.

PR-time enforcement
Architecture rules block non-conforming merges automatically. Reviewers see exactly which CALM node, relationship, or control was violated — no judgment-call architecture discussions left on the PR.
MCP agent guardrails
Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent query ArchRails for authoritative architecture context before generating code. Not a hint — the same authoritative model that blocks the PR, queried by the agent before code is generated.
Verdicts you can replay
Every PR review captures the rules that ran, the violations raised, and the CALM source each verdict traced back to. The record is reproducible — re-running the same rules against the same diff lands on the same answer. Verdicts are exportable in audit-ready format — the artifact internal audit and regulator inquiry actually ask for.
Federation-aware architecture
Architecture relationships span repositories via the CALM graph — payment-service can't reference an inventory-service interface that isn't declared, regardless of which repo the PR opens against. Cross-repo dependency visibility lives in the dashboard's federated graph view.
Deploys in your AWS account
ArchRails runs in your cloud, not ours. Architecture files and verdicts stay in your environment. No customer source code is stored, ever — ArchRails reads diffs at PR time and discards them after the verdict is written. The audit trail is yours, in your account, exportable on demand.
Licensing

Licensed by module. Annual contracts.

ArchRails is sold to architecture and platform engineering teams at regulated institutions. Engagements start with a paid POC scoped against your repos, convert to Team for single-business-unit deployment, and expand to Enterprise for multi-BU or organization-wide rollout.

BYOC by default for every paid tier. Paid POC, Team, and Enterprise all deploy into your AWS account. Customer code never leaves the customer perimeter. Evaluation Access is the only hosted tier. GCP and Azure are on the roadmap; available on request for committed engagements.

SKU Price Scope
Evaluation Access Free · 14 days Self-provisioned. Single tenant. Start free 14-day eval
Paid POC $75,000 · 90 days One BU. Credit applied on conversion to Team or Enterprise. Talk to sales
Team $200,000 / yr One BU. Up to 100 engineers. All three modules. Email support, business hours. Talk to sales
Enterprise Available on request Multi-BU or organization-wide deployment. All three modules. SLA, named solutions engineer, and additional operational commitments scoped per engagement. Talk to sales
Team

For platform engineering and architecture teams within a single business unit

$200,000 / year. BYOC deployment in your AWS account. One-year contract. Up to 100 engineers in one business unit, with all three modules included — Compliance Enforcement, Federation, Release Governance. Email support, business hours. The rung for ED- or director-level discretionary procurement when an organizational rollout isn't yet on the table.

Talk to sales

Three modules. Every paid tier includes all three.

Compliance Enforcement

PR-time gates backed by FINOS CALM v1 rule definitions. Every governed merge produces a portable evidence bundle: signed approver, rule set, change diff hash, CALM snapshot. For institutions where merges into production-bearing branches must produce an auditable approval trail.

Federation

Cross-repo dependency graph. Blast-radius analysis on every proposed change. Federated visualization of how services, contracts, and ownership boundaries fit together. For platform teams operating multi-team or multi-product code estates where dependency clarity is the daily problem.

Release Governance
Available Q4 2026

Signed Architecture Attestation on every promoted state. Branch protection rules wired directly to CALM definitions, not maintained separately. Chain-of-custody hash from CALM definition to deployed artifact. Offline-verifiable. For release engineering and risk teams that need a portable, cryptographic record of what shipped and what was approved. Read the technical detail →

Enterprise

Enterprise is the deployment shape for institutions running ArchRails beyond a single business unit — whether that's two BUs or organization-wide. One rollout, one audit boundary, one set of operational rituals. SLA, named solutions engineer, source code escrow, and custom integrations scoped to the engagement.

Pricing, SLA, and operational commitments are framed against your repo footprint, BU count, and compliance posture in the scoping call.

Who you're talking to

ArchRails is built by Marc Daniel Registre — engineering leader with prior tenure at Royal Caribbean, McDonald's, LinkedIn, Chase, and American Express. POC conversations go directly to the founding team.

Talk to the architecture team

Engagements start with a 30-minute scoping call. You walk through your architecture governance pain — cross-repo drift, agent-generated regressions, audit trail gaps. We frame the right SKU shape (Paid POC, Team, or Enterprise) against your repo footprint and compliance posture.

Direct response from the engineering team. Scoping call typically within two business days.

  • 30-minute scoping call with the founding team
  • Engagement shape (Paid POC, Team, or Enterprise) framed inside that call
  • Kickoff within two weeks for committed engagements
  • SLA, contract term, and security posture scoped in the kickoff
