Consistent QualityEvery assessment follows Microsoft Well-Architected Framework standards
Actionable GuidanceMove from “what’s wrong” to “how to fix it” immediately
Audit-Ready DocumentationFindings map to compliance frameworks your auditors recognize

2. Agent Memory — AI That Learns Your Organization

What You Can Do

PAA agents now remember what they learn about your organization across all sessions. Instead of starting from scratch every time, agents automatically apply the context they’ve built up from your previous assessments and conversations.

What Agents Remember

Memory CategoryWhat Gets Stored
Your Architecture PatternsThe recurring patterns and design decisions specific to your environment
Common IssuesProblems that come up repeatedly in your assessments
Remediation OutcomesWhat fixes worked (and what didn’t) in your specific environment
Domain VocabularyYour internal terminology, product names, and team structures
Architecture DecisionsKey decisions your team has made and the reasoning behind them
Risk ToleranceYour organization’s risk appetite and compliance priorities

How It Works

Memory is automatically extracted from assessments — no manual input required. When agents detect patterns or important facts about your environment, they save them for future sessions.

You can also:

  • View all stored memory entries from the Agent Memory page
  • Enable or disable individual entries
  • Adjust the confidence level of stored facts
  • Delete entries that are no longer accurate
  • Control which categories are active

Confidence Scoring

Each memory entry has a confidence score (0–100). Over time, facts that keep appearing in assessments gain higher confidence, while older, unconfirmed facts decay. You can set a minimum confidence threshold below which entries won’t be injected into new conversations.

Business Impact

BenefitWhat It Means for You
Smarter ConversationsAgents know your environment without you explaining it every time
Increasingly Accurate GuidanceAdvice gets better the more you use PAA
Organizational ContextAgents understand your terminology, not just generic Azure concepts
Consistent AssessmentsKey decisions from past reviews are factored into future ones

Available on all plans.

8. Change Monitor — Drift Detection

What You Can Do

Detect When Your Live Environment Diverges from Your Architecture

Infrastructure changes constantly. A developer spins up a resource, someone modifies a firewall rule, or a service gets reconfigured. PAA’s Change Monitor catches these changes and tells you when your live environment no longer matches your documented architecture.

Set Up Automated Scan Schedules

Define when to scan using simple cron expressions:

  • Daily scans at off-peak hours
  • Weekly comprehensive reviews
  • On-demand scans triggered at any time with one click

Track Your Drift Score Over Time

The drift score (0-100) tells you how much your live environment has diverged from your baseline:

  • A score of 0 means everything is as documented
  • Higher scores indicate more undocumented changes
  • Trend chart shows your drift history over 30 days

Review Scan Results

Each scan produces a detailed report showing:

  • How many resources were scanned
  • How many findings were detected
  • Severity breakdown (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
  • Which specific resources have drifted

Business Impact

BenefitWhat It Means for You
Catch Unauthorized ChangesKnow immediately when someone makes an undocumented configuration change
Maintain Architecture IntegrityEnsure your live environment stays aligned with approved designs
Simplify AuditsDemonstrate continuous compliance monitoring to auditors
Reduce Security RiskUnauthorized changes are often the source of security incidents

Available on Business plans and above.


9. Impact Analysis

What You Can Do

Map Your Architecture as a Dependency Graph

Build an interactive map of how your services, applications, and infrastructure components depend on each other. When a component has a problem, PAA shows you exactly what else would be affected.

Visualize Blast Radius

Select any component and instantly see its “blast radius” — all the downstream services that would be impacted if that component failed or changed:

  • View the dependency graph at different depths (1–5 hops)
  • Click through to component details
  • Identify critical path dependencies

Analyze Change Impact Before Making Changes

Before making a change to a component, run an impact analysis to understand:

  • Which services will be affected
  • Risk severity of the impact
  • Whether a maintenance window is required
  • Recommended precautions

Sync from Assessments

Your dependency map can be automatically populated from assessment results — no need to build it manually.

Business Impact

BenefitWhat It Means for You
Safer ChangesUnderstand the full blast radius before touching anything in production
Faster Incident ResponseWhen something breaks, immediately see what else is affected
