01
Examples of scope
We can address a single decision or define a broader review. The proposal depends on the system and the information available.
- 01
Architecture review
Examine an existing design or workflow: components, dependencies, failure points, and alternatives. One possible scope is tracing a request through the system.
- 02
Technical decision session
Compare approaches to a specific question, such as choosing an integration pattern or introducing an agent, considering cost, control, and maintenance.
- 03
Pre-production review
Examine how the system is evaluated and operated: errors, human intervention, security, and observability. We agree what can be reviewed against the available evidence.
These guides explain some of the decisions a review can examine.
02
What the review needs
You do not need a finished design. A system sketch and a specific question are enough to start defining the work.
- How we work
- Working sessions supported, where needed, by document review. The approach follows the question the team needs to resolve.
- Starting information
- A diagram, current tools, constraints, and observed problems. Any access or handling of information is defined before work begins.
- Agreed deliverable
- This may include prioritized recommendations, design alternatives, or questions still to validate. The proposal defines the format and level of detail.
03
How an engagement begins
First, we define the decision the work needs to inform.
Describe the problem
Send a summary of the system and the question you want to resolve.
Agree the review
We define what to examine, which information to use, and what deliverable makes sense.
Examine the options
We discuss findings with the team, separating recommendations from aspects that still need validation.
