decision-accountability

To verify architectural assumptions, analyze decisions for epistemic failures and ownership gaps alongside complexity claims. This validates code, specs, data models, and auth flows to ensure system integrity and prevent tech debt.

Complexity analysis in architecture review checks complexity claims by implementing the feature to verify its actual difficulty. This validates whether proposed architectural complexity is justified or represents corner-cutting that creates future tech debt.

Evaluating the cost of deferring architecture work requires comparing the cost of deferring work now versus implementing it later. This deferral cost analysis prevents technical debt accumulation by quantifying the downstream impact of postponed architectural decisions.

Decision accountability analysis applies directly to auth flows, data models, code, specs, and context structures. It verifies assumptions and catches corner-cutting across these architectural components to maintain system integrity and prevent future rewrites.

Conduct an architecture review for decision integrity when evaluating new systems like authentication flows to verify assumptions and prevent costly rewrites. This catches epistemic failures and ownership gaps before they create technical debt in production.
