Summary Wire Clarivate research-intelligence APIs (Web of Science, Pivot-RP funding data, Derwent patents) into ArcKit as evidence sources for architecture and strategy artefacts. Full plan: docs/plans/2026-07-16-clarivate-api-integration.md Problem / use case The weak point in any AI-generated strategy artefact is provenance. A Wardley map or options appraisal is only as defensible as the evidence under it. Clarivate supplies exactly the class of evidence that is expensive to gather by hand and hard to dispute once cited: peer-reviewed publication volume, citation weight, funding flows, patent activity, and organisation-level research footprints. This lets ArcKit answer questions it currently can only assert: Where does a capability sit on the evolution axis? (Publication/patent growth curves as a defensible genesis → commodity proxy.) Who are the credible players in a technology area, by research output rather than marketing presence? Which funders are backing a field, at what sca
Open invitation Three recipes ship with the ArcKit plugin today: uk-saas — UK Government civilian SaaS (38 targets, GDS / TCoP / NCSC CAF) uk-mod-sovereign — UK MOD / sovereign / air-gapped (38 targets, MOD-SBD / JSP 936) uae-federal-ai — UAE Federal AI under the 23 April 2026 Cabinet decree (48 targets) That covers roughly 0.5% of the world's public sectors. The other 99.5% need recipes too. If you architect for a jurisdiction not on the list above, this is the issue to claim. The full launch article: https://arckit.org/article-viewer.html?a=2026-05-03-community-recipes-wanted What a recipe is A YAML file that lists which /arckit:* commands form a coherent governance bundle for projects in your jurisdiction, the dependency graph between them, and the args each command should be invoked with. The build harness reads it, computes parallel waves, dispatches subagents. A recipe is not a fork of ArcKit. It does not change the underlying commands. It is configuration that says "for
