To pressure-test an architecture plan, use a review process that forces careful, one-question-at-a-time interviewing to expose weak assumptions and hidden risks in early-stage proposals before execution begins.

The best way to uncover hidden risks in a draft design is through codebase-aware probing that checks the repository directly. This ensures questions are answered from actual code rather than guessing, while providing recommended answers to speed up alignment.

Yes, you can use codebase inspection to validate ambiguous implementation decisions by probing the repository directly when a question can be answered from the code. This prevents guessing and grounds the design review in actual codebase realities.

Design review works effectively for early-stage product ideas and workflow drafts by walking through a plan branch by branch. It examines every important decision through one-question-at-a-time interviewing, ensuring every important decision is examined before execution.

To get alignment on missing decisions during an architecture review, use a process that provides a recommended answer for each question asked. This speeds up alignment and reduces indecision by offering explicit suggested answers for every branch of the plan.

A one-question-at-a-time approach for risk analysis is not suited for late-stage execution phases or finalized implementations. It is designed specifically for early-stage proposals, architecture choices, and ambiguous decisions that need pressure-testing before build work begins.
