Architecture Audit
An independent architecture assessment — risks, growth constraints and well-founded decisions.
01 · The problem
Architectural problems rarely look architectural. They look like missed deadlines, incidents, the rising cost of change and the inability to hire.
They are hard to see from the inside — the team is used to the constraints and takes them for granted. An outside view is needed to separate real constraints from habits.
02 · When you need it
- Before scaling, major investments or a stack change
- The cost of change is rising and delivery speed is falling
- Recurring incidents with no clear cause
- A new technical leader needs an objective picture
- Before adopting AI and agents — to know what you can build on
03 · What we analyze
- How well the architecture fits business goals and constraints
- System boundaries, coupling, data flows
- Reliability, scalability, observability
- Security and data handling
- Technical debt and what it actually costs
- How architectural decisions are made
04 · How we work
-
step 01
Context
Business goals, constraints, plans. The architecture is assessed against them, not against abstract best practices.
-
step 02
Investigation
Code, infrastructure, documentation, incidents, interviews with teams.
-
step 03
Assessment
Prioritized risks and constraints — what is critical, what can wait and what is not a problem at all.
-
step 04
Recommendations
Specific solutions with rationale, alternatives and effort estimates.
05 · What you get
The exact set of deliverables is agreed after the diagnostic. I don't promise effect figures in advance — they depend on the starting point and are written into the plan as criteria.
- 01A description of the current architecture — diagrams, flows, dependencies
- 02A prioritized list of risks and constraints
- 03Recommendations with rationale and alternatives
- 04A roadmap of changes
- 05A walkthrough with the technical team and management
