Capabilities
What the business does. Industry-aware, MECE hierarchy of business capabilities — the noun-phrased model behind heat-maps, investment lenses, and architecture blueprints.
9329 capabilities Browse capabilities →Business Processes
How the work is done. Cross-Industry processes are generated from value-stream stages and the capabilities each stage exercises; industry-specific processes anchor on BIAN, eTOM, ITIL, SCOR, ACORD, ICMM and others.
1273 processes Browse processes →Value Streams
End-to-end value delivery. Trigger-to-outcome flows whose stages link the capabilities and processes that participate at each step.

An open-source Enterprise Architecture Reference Catalog. It is intentionally tool-agnostic and can be used in any EA management solution — well beyond Turbo EA.
The catalog ships three orthogonal artefacts, designed to be used together:
- Capabilities — what the business does. An industry-aware, MECE hierarchy of noun-phrased business capabilities, anchored on the Business Capability Governance Model.
- Business Processes — how the work is done. Cross-Industry BP1 roots are named after their value stream (Order-to-Cash, Hire-to-Retire, Procure-to-Pay…) and generated from VS stages plus the capabilities they exercise. Industry-specific BP1s anchor on BIAN, TM Forum eTOM, ITIL, SCOR, ACORD, ICMM and other domain frameworks; APQC PCF is retained as a secondary cross-walk on Cross-Industry nodes.
- Value Streams — end-to-end value delivery. Trigger-to-outcome flows whose stages link the capabilities and processes that participate at each step.
This site exists to help enterprise architects get started with the implementation of an EA function, by providing a curated, opinionated baseline that teams can adopt, adapt, and extend.
The naming convention, decomposition rules, and identifier scheme come from the Business Capability Governance Model.

JSON API
Aggregated endpoints, static and edge-cached:
/api/version.json— catalog + schema version/api/tree.json— full nested capability tree/api/capabilities.json— flat array of every capability/api/business-processes.json— flat array of every process/api/bp-tree.json— full nested process tree/api/value-streams.json— every value stream with its stages
For per-node lookup or per-L1 / per-BP1 subtrees use the Python package below — it bundles the same per-id files locally without round-tripping the network.
Native consumption
For offline / airgapped use:
pip install turbo-ea-capabilities
