We design and build themeta-models and IDEs your domain runs on
Your domain has its own concepts, rules, and relationships. We capture them in a formal meta-model and ship the tooling — editors, validation, and a custom IDE — so your teams work in a language that speaks their domain, not a generic spreadsheet.
Generic tools flatten what makes your domain unique. We give it a precise language and the IDE to work in it.
From enterprise metamodels to engineered IDEs
Not every domain needs a compiler — and not every domain is served by a diagram. We meet your domain where it is, anywhere along the spectrum.
Enterprise domain metamodels
Domain concepts and rules expressed as ArchiMate or UML profiles, with governance and visualization — when the goal is shared understanding and architectural control.
ArchiMate · UML profilesEngineered DSL workbenches
Formal meta-models (Ecore/EMF) with generated graphical and textual editors (Sirius/GMF, Xtext) — when the domain deserves its own precise language.
Ecore/EMF · Xtext · Sirius/GMFCustom domain IDEs
A packaged tool your teams open every day: live validation, artifact generation, and governance baked in — when modeling is core to how work gets done.
Validation · Generation · GovernanceWe capture every important aspect
A meta-model is more than boxes and lines. It is the formal definition of what exists in your domain, how it connects, what is allowed, and what can be generated from it.
Concepts
The entities, types, and attributes that exist in your domain — named precisely, once.
Relationships
How concepts connect, contain, and depend on each other, with cardinality and direction.
Constraints & rules
What is valid and what is not — encoded as constraints so errors are impossible by construction.
Viewpoints
Tailored perspectives for each stakeholder, all projected from one consistent model.
Generators
Code, documents, configuration, and reports produced automatically from the model.
How we capture your domain
A disciplined path from tacit domain knowledge to a living, tooled meta-model.
Domain discovery
We work with your experts to surface the concepts, vocabulary, and rules that live in people's heads and scattered documents.
Concept & rule capture
We structure that knowledge into candidate concepts, relationships, and constraints — and validate it back with your team.
Meta-model design
We formalize the domain into a precise meta-model with clear boundaries, types, and viewpoints.
Validation & constraints
We encode the domain rules so invalid models are caught immediately, not in production.
Editor & IDE generation
We generate the graphical and textual editors and package them into an IDE your teams can actually use.
Governance & evolution
We hand over ownership with a process to evolve the meta-model safely as your domain changes.
Tangible, owned artifacts
Every engagement leaves you with assets you own outright — no lock-in.
The meta-model
A formal, versioned definition of your domain — the single source of truth.
Graphical & textual editors
Modeling surfaces tuned to your domain, for diagram-thinkers and text-thinkers alike.
A packaged IDE
A ready-to-run tool — desktop or web — with your domain language built in.
Validation & constraint rules
Live checks that keep every model correct by construction.
Code & artifact generators
Automated production of code, documents, and configuration from the model.
Living documentation & governance
Documentation generated from the model, plus a process to evolve it safely.
Energy grid coordination
An illustrative example of the method applied end-to-end to a complex regulated domain.
Grid coordination spans interconnected actors, assets, processes, and strict regulatory rules. We captured that domain into a formal meta-model and built a custom modeling IDE around it — so domain experts could work directly in their own language.
Concepts we captured
- Coordination actors & roles
- Grid assets & topology
- Operational processes
- Regulatory constraints
- Data exchange interfaces
- Capacity & security limits
A modeling IDE built for the domain
Palette, properties, and validation all speak the domain's vocabulary — not a generic diagram tool's.
Illustrative interface — no client data shown.
Outcome
Domain knowledge became an executable, governed asset instead of tribal know-how — consistent, reviewable, and built to evolve.
Outcomes that compound
A domain meta-model is not a deliverable that gathers dust — it changes how the organization works.
Domain fidelity
Your domain is captured precisely, not approximated by a generic tool.
Consistency by construction
Rules are enforced by the model, so whole classes of error simply cannot occur.
Faster onboarding
New people learn the domain from a living model instead of folklore.
Fewer costly errors
Mistakes are caught at modeling time, long before they reach production.
A living single source of truth
One model drives diagrams, documents, and generated artifacts — always in sync.
Vendor independence
You own the meta-model, the tooling, and the source. No lock-in.
Built on proven standards
We build on mature, open language-engineering and modeling standards — so your investment endures.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a domain modeling engagement take?
It depends on domain complexity. A focused enterprise metamodel can take weeks; a full engineered IDE with generators is a multi-phase engagement. We scope it with you up front and deliver in increments.
Who owns the meta-model and the IDE?
You do — outright. The meta-model, the editors, the IDE, and the source are yours, with no licensing lock-in.
Do you build a desktop IDE or a web-based tool?
Both are possible. We recommend the right form for your domain, teams, and security constraints — from a packaged desktop IDE to a browser-based modeling tool.
Can it integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. Generators and exchange formats let the model feed your existing systems, and importers can bring existing data into the model.
How do we maintain and evolve the meta-model?
We hand over a governance process and the tooling to version and migrate models safely as your domain changes — and we can stay on as support.
Do our people need to know modeling theory to use it?
No. The whole point is that the IDE speaks your domain's language. Domain experts work in familiar terms; the modeling rigor is handled for them.
