Architecture design review

1–2.4 weeks typical Fixed quote after scoping

Structured review of a system's architecture — components, boundaries, seams, and build order — delivered as a whitepaper with prioritized recommendations.

What we build

An independent expert examination of how a system is — or should be — put together: its components, boundaries, data flows, and build order. Suits both auditing an existing platform and designing a new one before any code is written. You receive a written whitepaper with findings, risks, and prioritized recommendations your team can act on, whether or not we do the follow-on work.

What you get

  • An architecture review whitepaper covering the system's components, boundaries and data flows
  • A findings register with a severity and an owner per finding
  • A sequenced build-order plan naming each phase and its prerequisites

How the work unfolds

  1. Review the system architecture end to end
  2. Assess components, boundaries and integration seams
  3. Run trade studies on the key decisions
  4. Audit the implementation against the design
  5. Write the architecture whitepaper with prioritised recommendations

What shapes the price

Before you see a number, our scoping conversation asks:

  • Is there a system already built that we should compare the design against, or are we designing from scratch? The implementation audit is dead scope on a greenfield design.
