AI Architecture Review

A technical audit of your AI systems — find the risks, costs, and bottlenecks before they find you.

$5,000report5 days

[ WHO IS THIS FOR ]

CTO or senior engineer at a post-Series A or mid-market company with 5-50 engineers who have shipped AI features and want an external review before scaling.

You need this when:

Preparing to scale an AI product and want to catch architecture problems early
Recent production incidents or unexpected cost spikes in AI systems
New CTO or engineering lead wants an independent baseline
Due diligence prep before a funding round
AI system has grown organically and feels fragile
Board or investors asking for an AI roadmap with milestones and budget
Evaluating AI platforms and need an independent comparison

[ ROI FRAME ]

RETURN ON INVESTMENT

A single architectural flaw found before it hits production — a security vulnerability, a $50K/month cost inefficiency, or a scaling bottleneck — is worth multiples of this report.

Scalability assessment with bottleneck identification
Prioritized tech debt list with effort estimates
90/180/365-day implementation roadmap with budget ranges
Vendor/platform fit assessment (if evaluating alternatives)
30-minute recorded walkthrough of all findings

WHAT YOU PROVIDE

Read-only access to relevant code repositories
Architecture diagram or description of current system
List of specific concerns or focus areas
Monitoring/observability dashboard access (optional)
Description of AI use cases and expected scale
AI vendors or platforms under consideration (if applicable)
