Architecture Review.

One principal architect, 15 to 20 hours of focused work delivered over one or two weeks. No consulting sprint, no offshore handoff, no junior pool. The architect who reviews your environment is the one who writes the report and answers your follow-up questions. Small enough to stay sharp, large enough to produce real recommendations.

Each engagement produces six fixed deliverables so you know exactly what to expect: a current state assessment of how your architecture works today and where the load-bearing assumptions live; a target architecture diagram showing the version Redoubt Forge would recommend for your workload class and threat model; a gap analysis ranking the architectural deltas between current and target by effort and impact; migration recommendations with concrete sequencing and dependencies; security findings the architect observed during the review, prioritized by severity; and a written report capturing all of the above as a single document delivered at the end of the engagement.

Architecture Review is right for teams making a decision: evaluating cloud providers, planning a migration, inheriting a legacy environment, scaling a product to a new workload class, or wanting an outside read before committing to a multi-quarter build. It is not a framework gap assessment. If your need is control-by-control compliance gap analysis against a specific framework, that lives in Rampart or in the Phase 2 Gap Assessment service.

One-time $5,000. The engagement includes three months of Guardian tier subscription so you can start applying the architect's recommendations in the platform while they are still available for follow-up. Guardian tier is $199/mo standalone, so the included subscription represents about $597 of value. Your subscription continues at the standard rate after the included period if you choose to keep it; cancel with no clawback if you do not.

Architecture Reviews are capped at two concurrent engagements. This is a deliberate quality guardrail: founder-level delivery, no consulting pool. If the queue is full when you request the engagement, you will be offered a scheduled start date. The cap exists to keep the review sharp.
