The Trantiate Methodology
Trantiate is a modern transformation methodology designed for the agentic AI era. It provides a safe, repeatable, and verifiable way to move from current state to future state, with structure, evidence, governance, and a finite lifecycle.
Why Trantiate Exists
Most modernization efforts struggle not because of technology, but because enterprises lack a universal lifecycle, a way to extract knowledge from legacy systems, and a governance model that ensures readiness and safe execution.
Trantiate fills this gap with the TRANT lifecycle and a set of models that bring order, evidence, and governance to transformation. It is intentionally finite: every journey must end with a verified, safe retirement of legacy.
TARGET → REVIEW → ANALYZE → NAVIGATE → TRANSFORM
A five-stage lifecycle that moves modernization forward with clarity, evidence, and well-defined outcomes at each step.
Methodology Principles
Trantiate rests on a small set of principles that shape every stage, artifact, and decision.
Transformation should never put the enterprise, customers, or regulators at unnecessary risk.
Transition decisions must be backed by extracted knowledge, documented impacts, and traceable reasoning.
Work should only move into execution once dependencies, risks, and gaps are understood and accepted.
Every Trant journey is designed to end with a verified future state and safe decommissioning of legacy.
Core Components of Trantiate
The methodology is powered by four foundational models that can be applied with or without AI automation.
Value Extraction Method: systematically extract features, functions, workflows, integrations, and dependencies from legacy systems.
Knowledge Extraction & Assembly: convert raw knowledge into structured documentation, evidence packages, and transformation artifacts.
Transformation Control & Assurance Protocol: embed governance, readiness checks, and validation into every transition.
Maker / Checker / Seer / Buyer: a role ecosystem for building, validating, assuring, and accepting transformation outcomes.
