Review Process

Architecture reviews at Content Leafcore follow a fixed sequence so both sides know when materials are due and when findings arrive.

1. Inquiry & fit
   You describe the system, the decision hanging on the review, and timing. We confirm whether the work fits our practice or should wait.
2. Scoping call
   A 30–45 minute call locks boundaries: services in scope, interview list, deliverable date, and fee.
3. Materials intake
   Diagrams, specs, runbooks, and access notes arrive in a shared folder. We flag gaps within two business days.
4. Reading & interviews
   We study the design, speak with nominated stakeholders, and map failure paths across the seams you care about.
5. Draft for factual correction
   You receive a draft brief. Comments at this stage correct facts — not tone down findings.
6. Final brief & walkthrough
   The final document and a 90-minute walkthrough close the engagement. Office hours can extend the conversation if needed.

What you prepare

• A named decision and date
• Current context diagram (hand-drawn is fine)
• Draft or published API contracts for in-scope surfaces
• Honest list of known pain points

What we prepare

• Interview guide tailored to your seams
• Findings ranked by urgency
• Recommendations tied to the decision you named — not a generic maturity checklist
