Application Portfolio Starter (TIME matrix)

Add your applications, rate each on business value and technical health, and watch them land in a live TIME matrix — Invest, Tolerate, Migrate, Eliminate. A fast, no-account way to sketch your portfolio.

This is a simplified taster. The real ArchiLU APM connects your actual sources, tracks dependencies between applications, and governs the decisions you make here over time. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Your applications

Add 10–20 apps. Each row is placed automatically from the two ratings you choose. Edit or remove freely.

Portfolio summary

A quick read of where your portfolio sits, derived only from the ratings you entered.

How placement works

Each app is placed using only the two ratings you choose — no external data.
high/medium value + high/medium health → Invest
high/medium value + low health → Migrate
low value + high/medium health → Tolerate
low value + low health → Eliminate
Cost band is informational and does not change placement.

This taster reflects your own subjective ratings, not measured data. It is a conversation-starter, not a portfolio audit. Real decisions need dependencies, real costs, and stakeholders — which is what ArchiLU governs.
