The Mechanism

Three Phases, One Explainable Pipeline

Each phase changes what Kumo.io knows and what you can see. Nothing is inferred that the source did not report.

Phase One · Connect

Point Kumo.io at a Scope You Control

Configure a supported cloud source with read-only access and an explicit scope, then run a sync. Kumo.io records the run and accepts observations into a source snapshot.

  • Read-only credentials, scoped by you
  • Every sync run recorded with its outcome
  • Failures surface as failures, never as stale success

Phase Two · Compose

Observations Become an Immutable Revision

Resources and relationships from the accepted snapshot form a workspace graph revision. Revisions are immutable, so any view built on one can be reproduced exactly — and two revisions can be compared.

  • Immutable graph revision per accepted sync
  • Relationships derived from reported configuration
  • Revision-to-revision comparison for change

Phase Three · Use

Generate the View the Question Needs

Focus a revision with an environment or query, apply a reusable view recipe, then save, share or export the result. The same revision supports many valid views without redrawing anything.

  • Reusable view recipes, not one-off diagrams
  • Save, share, embed or export
  • User-authored context stays marked as user-authored
kumo.io / sources / aws-productionPlaceholder
Capture with a healthy source and at least one prior failed run visible, so the run history reads as real.
kumo.io / revisionsPlaceholder
The comparison view is the strongest single proof that revisions are real objects rather than a rendering trick.
kumo.io / views / payments-networkPlaceholder
Show the same resource appearing in both views to make the shared-revision point without a caption explaining it.

Provenance

Every Element Can Answer Where It Came From

This is the part that is hard to fake and easy to verify. Select anything in a view and Kumo.io states its origin, the revision it belongs to, and when that revision was accepted.

kumo.io / views / payments-networkPlaceholder
Include at least one discovered node and one user-authored node in frame so the visual distinction is visible.
  1. 1

    Origin

    Discovered, derived, imported or user-authored — stated per element, never blended into one undifferentiated picture.

  2. 2

    Source and Scope

    Which connected source reported the element, and the scope that source was configured to observe.

  3. 3

    Revision

    The immutable revision this view was generated from, so the same view can be regenerated or compared later.

  4. 4

    Last Successful Sync

    When Kumo.io last successfully observed the source — shown on screen rather than implied by the diagram looking current.

Starter placeholders must be replaced with real, approved captures before this page is published.

What You Get

Documentation That Survives the Next Change

The mechanism matters because of what it lets a team stop doing.

Architecture That Documents Itself

Stop rebuilding the same diagram every quarter. Generate the view from the current revision and reuse it as documentation.

Discovery and Documentation

Context When Something Breaks

Inspect current relationships and compare revisions to see what changed, instead of reconstructing the environment from memory.

Artifacts a Reviewer Accepts

Produce explainable, dated views with visible origin — the kind of artifact a security or compliance review can actually use.
