design-review

An architectural design review evaluates your PRDs, migration AgDRs, and feature specs for soundness before coding begins. It verifies alignment with architecture patterns, NFRs, risk, trade-offs, and deployment safety to prevent structural flaws early.

You need a solution architect to review your migration AgDR when you want to verify risk, traceability, and deployment safety before building. It applies architectural lenses like tech debt and NFRs to ensure the migration design is structurally sound.

Yes, you can trigger a conditional security review for feature specs touching auth, crypto, or secrets. The design review automatically chains to a security auditor to evaluate user data and authentication risks when these sensitive areas are detected.

A pre-build design review handles enterprise and cross-project concerns by escalating them to the Head of Engineering. This ensures that introducing new tech stacks or impacting multiple projects receives higher-level architectural oversight.

A design review for PRDs is a non-code analog to code review, evaluating architecture and risk before the build phase rather than inspecting written code. It assesses feature specs and migration AgDRs against patterns and NFRs to ensure structural soundness prior to implementation.
