Services / Architecture Review Engagement mode 01

Architecture Review.

A short, paid diagnostic. We draw the line, find where the system will fail, and hand you a written assessment you own, whether or not you build with us.

01Definition

What it is

A focused engagement that examines an AI system, one you already run or one you're about to build, and tells you where the risk sits. We draw the line between the parts that must be exact and the parts that use judgment, check whether the guardrails on the judgment parts are sound, and identify where the system will fail under real load or real audit exposure. The deliverable is a clear written assessment, not a sales document.

02Deliverables

What you get

  • A documented map of the system: where the line is drawn, and where it should be.
  • An assessment of the guardrails on every AI part, and the gaps in them.
  • A clear statement of where the system will fail, and what that failure would cost.
  • A prioritised list of what to fix or build first.
  • A written assessment that's yours to keep and act on, with us or with anyone.
03Process

How it works

A small senior team, two to three weeks in most cases, working from your real system and your real constraints rather than a generic checklist. We talk to the people who built it and the people who depend on it. You come away knowing where you stand, with no commitment to a larger engagement.

04Audience

Who it's for

Anyone carrying risk on an AI system: a CTO weighing a build, a head of engineering who inherited one, a risk or compliance leader who needs to know whether a live system is defensible. It's the lowest-commitment way to work with us, and the natural first step.

Start with the question, not the build.
