Consulting
Solution Architecture
The structural decisions on a system, written as records that explain why, so the reasoning outlives the people who made it.
In short
Decisions recorded with their reasoning.
What we deliver
- Architecture decision records with alternatives considered
- Data model and integration design
- Non-functional requirements made explicit and testable
- Review sessions with your engineers, not just a document
A good fit when
- A build is about to start with no agreed architecture
- Past decisions cannot be explained by anyone still here
- Two teams are solving the same problem differently
Technologies and methods
Chosen for each project, to fit your systems and your team.
- Architecture review
- Threat modelling
