Architecture Decision Review
Find the risks before the decision becomes expensive to reverse
Not another architecture opinion. An independent challenge before commitment.
Major architecture decisions (a platform choice, an integration approach, a cloud migration) are rarely revisited once made. The team moves on, and the decision gets wrapped in code, integrations, and contracts.
Teams rarely make obviously bad architecture decisions. They make reasonable decisions under incomplete information, deadlines, and organisational constraints. By the time the problem becomes visible, changing direction is usually far more expensive than challenging the decision upfront.
Architecture Decision Reviewis an independent expert review of a single architecture decision before implementation and commitment make changing direction difficult and expensive.
Sometimes the outcome is a list of risks that need attention before moving forward. Sometimes it's simply independent confirmation that the team made a sound decision and can proceed with confidence.
Typical decisions you can bring to a review: Build vs buy · SaaS/platform selection · Integration architecture (including SAP and enterprise platforms) · Cloud migration · Data architecture · AI solution architecture · Legacy modernisation · Application consolidation · Vendor architecture proposals · Target architecture for a new product
