AI system review
Inspect runtime architecture, capability contracts, permissions, evaluations, integrations and recovery before the next release.
See the launch questionsArchitecture & Harness Review / two to three weeks
A clear decision before the next commitment.
We review the architecture, tool boundaries, evaluations and delivery risks around your AI system, or the harness your engineers use with coding agents, and hand you a prioritized plan.
Sample deliverable excerpt · synthetic example
Release decision brief
- Observation
- A mutating tool can act beyond the calling user’s scope.
- Decision
- Hold that action until authorization is checked at the tool boundary.
- Evidence needed
- Allowed and denied test cases, tenant isolation checks, and an auditable decision trace.
- Owner & next step
- Name the implementation owner, define the acceptance test, and review the result.
Choose the inspection scope
The system that runs, or the workflow that builds it.
Review the AI system your customers use, the workflow your engineers use to build it, or both.
Development harness review
Inspect repository legibility, agent permissions, verification gates, review load and architecture drift. The decision brief includes a prioritized harness gap list.

Five outputs. One actionable recommendation.
Every finding comes with its evidence, an owner and the next decision, so you can choose what to build, fix or stop.

The process
Bound the question. Inspect the system. Make the decision.
The decision comes first.
Confirm the workflow, the stakeholders, the evidence and the access we need.
Follow the consequential boundaries.
Review the code, the architecture and the operational evidence, and test the assumptions the decision depends on.
A recommendation your team can use.
Walk the decision-makers through the findings and hand over the evidence, the risks and the next scope, ready for a forward-deployed team or your own engineers.
Before we start
Who is the review for?
Teams with a concrete system or workflow decision: a design to assess, a release to harden, or an agentic engineering process to improve. For an acquisition or investment, see our diligence offer.
How is the review scoped?
We agree the questions, evidence, access and deliverables before work begins.
What do you need from us?
A decision owner, the relevant system context, and access to documentation, code or test environments.
What happens after the review?
You get a scoped plan. Use it to guide your own team's next build or a forward-deployed engagement.
Can we go straight to a build?
Yes. When the outcome and ownership are clear, we scope a forward-deployed build directly.
