TEAF at a glance
What to know before writing about TEAF: the summary, the numbers that matter, what's proven and what isn't yet, and material to illustrate a piece.
One-sentence description
TEAF (Temporal Enterprise Architecture Framework) is an enterprise architecture framework for the AI era: a continuous eight-component loop that connects architecture decisions to real execution, rather than a periodic review cycle.
Documented and maintained by Mathieu URBITSCH, drawing on over twenty years designing and industrializing resilient, sovereign information systems. TEAF builds on TOGAF, ITIL, COBIT and SAFe without claiming to replace them — see what TEAF precisely adds.

Honesty first
What TEAF has proven — and what it hasn't yet
The method has been implemented in real organizations, across different sectors. This field feedback is solid, but it isn't published scientific validation — the collection admits this explicitly rather than glossing over it. The full picture, no spin, is in the dedicated transparency article: what's confirmed, what's still missing, and why the organizations involved stay anonymous.
