Review report
The findings across four lenses, with prioritized recommendations — down to what to address first.
AI-native development made “something that works” fast to obtain. But as speed went up, so did the number of design decisions that reach production unexamined. Does the infrastructure match the economics of the business? Does the generated code protect what must be protected? How far has the design drifted from the product you meant to build? — A review is the work of bringing those questions in from outside.
Not whether an individual implementation is good or bad, but the drift that lies between the business and its design.
Does the architecture fit the business model? Cost structure, scaling assumptions, operational load — we re-examine the current setup by working back from the economics of the business.
Authentication and authorization, handling of secrets, dependencies, and the pitfalls particular to AI-generated code. We verify that what must be protected is protected.
What were you setting out to build? Does the current design support it? We measure the distance between product intent and implementation.
Deployment, observability, readiness for failure. Whether, after the building, you have a setup you can keep operating.
Handing over findings alone doesn't change development. We take it to the point where the next cycle of building and operating actually runs.
The findings across four lenses, with prioritized recommendations — down to what to address first.
The premises of design and operation, put in readable form. A foundation legible to people and to agents alike.
Getting the next round of development and operations to a state where agents can run correctly.
From reading, through report and dialogue, to laying the foundation.
What were you trying to build? We listen for the premises of the business and the intent of the product.
We read the repository and the architecture ourselves.
Business, security, design, operations. We re-examine from each.
Not findings handed over and done — we talk through why we saw it that way.
We leave behind a foundation on which the next cycle runs.
We read the code and infrastructure directly. Without disclosure, this review cannot proceed.
Signed before we begin.
About one month, depending on the scale of the application.
Including whether a review is the right fit — it starts with a conversation.
