What problem does it solve?
Addresses the risk of poorly planned architectures by surfacing long-term consequences, hidden costs, and governance gaps early.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Grounded Skepticism: routinely questions assumptions, identifies hidden costs, and surfaces historical failure modes.
- Constructive Progress: provides viable forward paths, safer first steps, and explicit trade-offs.
- Evidence-Linked Judgment: anchors recommendations to primary sources and concrete data.
- Use Cases: architectural decisions, legacy refactors, tooling evaluations, and broad planning questions.
Quick Start
Describe your architectural decision and ask COE to provide a risk-aware evaluation.
