Audits & Critiques
An outside read from people with no stake in the existing answers.
Sometimes the most valuable thing we can offer is an honest, expert look at what you've built. We run focused audits across architecture, product, AI systems, and engineering process — and deliver findings you can act on, not a 200-page report that sits on a shelf.
What it includes
- Technical architecture review — scalability, reliability, and where the bodies are buried
- AI system audit — context engineering, eval coverage, cost and quality risk
- Product critique — clarity of value, UX friction, and feature debt
- Engineering process review — how the team plans, ships, and learns
- Risk-ranked findings with clear recommendations and rough effort estimates
- An executive-ready summary you can take straight to the board
Who it's for
- Leaders considering a major investment who want an independent read first
- Boards and PE firms doing diligence on a portfolio company
- CTOs inheriting a system they didn't build
- Teams who suspect something is off but can't articulate it from the inside
