SCI-ENCE is not a software studio that builds products. It is a concept studio — a company built around the process of turning ambitious ideas into working systems, faster than should be possible, with minimal capital. DiagramCraft is both the flagship product and the proof of concept.
Overview
SCI-ENCE exists because of a real problem its founder encountered: when working on large, complex ideas with current AI systems, context limitations become a wall. You can't hold a full enterprise architecture, a deployment topology, a documentation set, and a development plan in a single LLM conversation.
DiagramCraft was built to solve that — a hierarchical canvas where the diagram is the context. The architecture lives in it. The documentation lives in it. The AI session happens inside it. Multiple AI agents can co-work in it simultaneously. The diagram is the source of truth, not a byproduct of the process.
Everything else SCI-ENCE builds — SingAGram, MuniChat, DubForge, Global SOUTHern Hospitality, dc-cloud-runtime, dc-cloud-deploy — was conceived and scaffolded in DiagramCraft. The platform is the factory. The portfolio is the output.
"I'm a senior developer, architect, and manager with 17 years of experience. I built this because every other tool I tried couldn't hold the scale of what I was trying to think. DiagramCraft is the tool I needed to exist."
DiagramCraft — The Platform
DiagramCraft is an AI-native modeling platform where the diagram is the operational surface. Architecture, documentation, source code, AI co-working context, deployment topology, and guided user experiences all live in the same infinitely nested canvas. It is live. It works from a phone. Three AI agents are using it in production right now.
All diagrams are private by default at every tier. Sharing requires an explicit workspace invitation or a public shared link — which is read-only, hides source code, and uses an unguessable URL. No tier gives automatic public access. This is a deliberate design decision: users trust the platform with architecture, credentials references, and business logic.
Archetypes — The Programmable Experience Layer
Archetypes are DiagramCraft's most underappreciated capability — and potentially its most valuable commercial primitive.
An archetype is a packaged, reusable module that a user adds to their diagram from the Library panel. When added, it scaffolds a diagram subtree and immediately launches a guided wizard flow — collecting variables from the user, branching based on their choices, and executing scripts that manipulate the diagram programmatically using the DiagramCraft SDK.
Tap any row above to expand. Current archetype in the library: "What Is an API?" — an educational flow with 12 guided steps, produced by OpenAI and visible to all DiagramCraft users. This is what the archetype system looks like in production today.
Revenue Model
Four independent revenue layers, each activating in sequence. No single large bet required. The first layer is already in motion.
- CJ Affiliates — GCP free tier referrals. Commission on new GCP account signups driven by DiagramCraft's IDE, cloud deployment panel, and onboarding flow. Registration in progress.
- Anthropic Partner Program — Enterprise referral commissions; hopeful Claude marketplace listing; 'Powered by Claude' badge program. Applications in progress.
- BrowserPods — Potential reseller / partnership deal with Leaning Technologies (CheerpJ, CheerpX). In discussion.
- Future: AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean as dc-cloud-deploy expands cloud target support.
- Free — Unlimited private diagrams, copy/paste AI workflow, public shared links (read-only, unguessable URL, no source code). Affiliate CTAs throughout onboarding.
- Pro (~$19/mo) — BYOK AI key management, priority runtime, advanced Git import, additional workspace seats.
- Team (~$49/mo) — Shared workspaces, per-agent audit log, admin controls, BrowserPods BYOK key relay.
- Enterprise — Custom contract, volume pricing, SLA, dedicated support, on-prem DiagramCraft instance, custom archetype production.
- Premium archetypes — sold per use, per access tier, or as enterprise custom productions. Near-zero production cost when AI-generated.
- dc-cloud-runtime — Per-run billing for Cloud Run integration test deployments. Real cost-to-operate data. Clean teardown. Pay GCP + platform fee.
- dc-cloud-deploy — OpenTofu IaC script generation as a premium feature or Enterprise tier inclusion. Every deployment is simultaneously a GCP spend event (CJ conversion) and a platform fee.
- Full DiagramCraft stack is self-hostable (React, Supabase, Deno). Enterprise license: annual contract for on-prem deployment.
- Target buyers: large enterprises, government agencies, defense contractors, organizations with data sovereignty requirements.
- dc-cloud-deploy targeting private cloud or on-prem infrastructure is a natural Enterprise SKU.
- GSH municipalities are a natural first on-prem customer class — they own their hardware by design and need DiagramCraft to train local developers.

Longer-Term Vision
The Concept Studio Model
SCI-ENCE isn't a company that picked a market and built a product for it. It's a company built around a capability: turning complex ideas into working systems faster than should be possible with minimal capital. DiagramCraft is the tool that makes that possible. Every new product SCI-ENCE produces is built with DiagramCraft — and is simultaneously a proof of what the platform can do. The factory and the output are the same thing.
dc-cloud-deploy: IaC from the Diagram
Terraform and OpenTofu scripts have always been hand-written or copied from templates. dc-cloud-deploy generates them from the diagram's topology: element names become resource names, connections become networking rules, variables become environment configs. The diagram is the infrastructure-as-code. For enterprises managing complex multi-cloud deployments, this closes the gap between architecture diagram and production deployment entirely — and every deployment is a GCP spend event (CJ conversion) and a platform fee simultaneously.
Global SOUTHern Hospitality
GSH is SCI-ENCE's non-profit initiative: edge data centers deployed inside municipalities in the Global South, with ≥35% renewable power, Starlink backhaul, LoRaWAN mesh, a 90-day local talent certification program, and civic software built with DiagramCraft — owned by the municipality, maintained by the people we trained. 85% of the world's population. Zero infrastructure sovereignty. DiagramCraft is the training tool and the deployment environment simultaneously. sci-ence.com/global/gsh
Archetypes at Scale
An archetype is a packaged, programmable experience. At scale: a marketplace of AI-generated archetypes covering every major software pattern, compliance framework, educational concept, and deployment topology. Enterprise clients commissioning custom archetypes for their specific workflows. Educational institutions licensing curriculum archetype libraries. Every archetype is a product. The production cost approaches zero when AI generates them. The catalog compounds.
Founders
David Arkin
Senior developer, architect, and engineering manager with 17+ years of experience building complex systems in enterprise and startup environments. B.B.A. in Computer Information Systems from Georgia State University — top of class.
Built DiagramCraft because he ran into the context limitation wall while working on large, complex ideas with AI. The platform solves his own problem — which means it solves the same problem for every senior developer, architect, and AI-augmented builder working on anything non-trivial.
Currently balancing platform development with Uber Eats deliveries to keep the lights on. The platform is live. Three AI agents are running. Six browser languages are passing tests. All of this happened in less than 30 days on $500. That is the founder signal.
Brian McClaskey
Co-founder (50%) and the provider of the company's initial $500 runway. Brian is evaluating increasing his commitment as the platform matures and the first revenue milestones close.
The Ask
The honest picture: a live platform, three AI agents in production, six browser runtime languages passing tests, a 29-tool MCP API, an archetype system with a working public entry, a REST API in alpha, and a portfolio of six products — all built in less than 30 days on $500, by a senior architect building on his phone between Uber Eats deliveries.
What investment buys is time. Specifically: David's time, removed from food delivery and applied full-time to closing the gaps between what exists and what this can be. CJ Affiliates registration needs to go live. Subscription billing needs to ship. dc-cloud-runtime needs to complete. BrowserPods needs to finalize. The first premium archetypes need to launch. None of these are hard problems. They are time problems.
