You audit technical decision documents by simulating a jaded staff engineer's perspective to identify blind spots, operational risks, and alternatives. This critical review process stress-tests specs and architecture decisions before implementation.

Stress-test technical decisions by performing a structured critical audit on your spec or architecture documents. This process challenges choices with solid arguments and surfaces alternative solutions to reduce costly implementation mistakes.

A jaded engineer simulation validates tech decisions by thoroughly reading your documents and considering various risk scenarios. It constructs solid arguments against your choices and proposes alternative solutions to expose operational risks.

Yes, you can use this critical audit on architecture decision records (ADRs). The process explicitly applies to specs, architecture documents, ADRs, and technical decision documents to identify operational risks and alternatives.

Automated risk assessment for specs requires thorough reading of documents and consideration of various risk scenarios. It should not replace human judgment but rather complement it by challenging decisions with constructive, structured arguments.
