Simplification of ArchiMate is often used within organizations by means of viewpoints. The checklist is used to check whether the modelers have adhered to organization-specific modeling conventions within an architectural language such as ArchiMate.

Completeness is important to give the various stakeholders a complete picture of the (sub)architecture or the solution. This is only possible by creating explanatory texts for diagrams and the elements in these diagrams.

This checklist is used to ensure that the models in the repository are easy to find for different stakeholders and that they are given a logical order in the diagrams to get an idea of the solution or the established architectures.
