Architecture Review

Definitions

1. A formal evaluation of a proposed or existing system design to assess correctness, scalability, maintainability, risk, and alignment with engineering standards. Architecture reviews are most useful when they challenge assumptions early enough to change the plan without derailing delivery.

   In plain English: A structured check of a system design before or during implementation.

   Example: "The architecture review caught that the proposed cross-region write path would create consistency and cost problems long before implementation began."
