← all engagements Diagnose · Architecture Review

Know where the architecture is fragile before the roadmap depends on it.

We review the software and AI surface, identify material failure paths, and turn the findings into a risk register and prioritized plan your executives and engineers can use together.

Ask this first

Which architecture decision would be most expensive to discover was wrong six months from now?

What this engagement is for

A review that ends in an ordered decision, not a document pile.

This engagement is for systems approaching a consequential change: an AI rollout, scale event, migration, security review, acquisition, or major new dependency.

We concentrate on boundaries, failure paths, hidden coupling, operating assumptions, and the difference between risks that need action now and risks the team can consciously accept.

Good fitA material architecture decision is approaching and the system can be reviewed within an agreed boundary.
Not the right fitYou need a compliance certification or exhaustive penetration test rather than an architecture decision.
Engagement outcomeA ranked risk register, prioritized remediation plan, and 90-minute findings walkthrough.

What you get

The payoff is visible before the next ask.

01 · System model

The review boundary

A shared view of components, dependencies, trust boundaries, and operating assumptions.

Architecture and dependency map
AI and data boundaries
Critical assumptions

02 · Risk register

Material findings

Risks ranked by impact and likelihood, with evidence and uncertainty kept visible.

Failure-path analysis
Impact and likelihood
Evidence and open questions

03 · Remediation plan

What happens next

An ordered plan that separates immediate controls, structural work, and accepted risk.

Priority and sequence
Suggested ownership
90-minute walkthrough

How it works

A finite path with a clear stopping point.

Agree the boundary

Select the system, decision, artifacts, and questions the review must resolve.

Review the evidence

We examine architecture, code, configuration, data flows, and operating assumptions in scope.

Distill and walk through

Findings become a concise register and plan, followed by a live review with your team.

Proof posture

Every finding connects to a boundary, failure path, or observed artifact.

The handoff distinguishes verified facts, reasoned risks, and unresolved questions. That makes the output useful for engineering work and candid enough for executive decisions.

Architecture Review starts with fit and scope.

Share the system, workflow, or decision in front of you. We will confirm whether this lane fits, identify the information needed to scope it, and recommend a smaller or different start when appropriate.
