Architecture Review
A focused, project-scoped review that produces a written, defensible second opinion.
Single-engagement architecture review for a specific decision, system, or proposal. Documented, decision-focused, no ongoing commitment.
You are probably here because…
- A vendor has proposed an architecture and you want an independent technical review before signing.
- An internal team is proposing a major change and the leadership needs a defensible second opinion.
- You've inherited a system and want a clear, written assessment of its posture, risks, and remediation paths.
- You're deciding between two technical approaches and need a documented recommendation.
Deliverables
- A written architecture review document — observations, findings, risks, recommendations.
- A walkthrough session with the leadership and engineering teams.
- Stated assumptions and the trade-offs underneath each recommendation.
- Optional: a follow-up working session sixty days later to review what was acted upon.
From first call to handover.
Scoping
A short conversation to establish the question being asked, the materials available, and the intended audience for the review.
Two-week review window
Documentation review, structured stakeholder interviews, and synthesis — concluded with a written deliverable and walkthrough.
Decision support
The deliverable is decision-focused. It does not recommend a vendor unless the question requires it. It surfaces what is load-bearing, what is risky, and what is irreversible.
Where this has been done before.
Hadoop to AWS lakehouse migration for a Fortune 500 financial-services client: 70% infrastructure-cost cut and 5x query improvement, plus real-time pipelines with column- and row-level security.
A metadata-driven delivery framework that eliminated ~90% of repetitive pipeline code and raised pipeline reliability from 85% to 99.5%.
