AI Architecture Review & Guidance
Comprehensive assessment of your AI integration landscape. We identify gaps, optimize your tool stack, and build a roadmap for scaling AI across your engineering organization.
Common Challenges We Address
Symptoms of AI Tool Sprawl
- • Multiple teams using different tools for the same job
- • Licenses going unused while teams request new tools
- • No visibility into actual adoption or impact
- • Security reviewing tools one-off without a framework
- • Leadership asking "is this working?" with no data
After This Engagement
- • Clear picture of what tools you have and their ROI
- • Consolidation plan to reduce redundancy and cost
- • Roadmap for scaling AI adoption strategically
- • Governance framework for future tool decisions
- • Executive-ready metrics and reporting

Frequently Asked Questions
What size org is this for?
The Architecture Review is designed for engineering orgs with 50+ developers, multiple teams, and some existing AI tool adoption. Smaller orgs typically benefit more from our focused sprints.
Do you help with implementation?
The Architecture Review produces the roadmap and recommendations. Implementation can be handled by your team using our playbooks, or we can scope follow-on engagements for specific initiatives.
What if we haven't adopted any AI tools yet?
The review can serve as a greenfield strategy engagement. We'll assess your workflows, recommend a tool stack, and create an adoption roadmap from scratch.
How much stakeholder time is required?
Expect 2-3 hours per key stakeholder over the 4 weeks: initial interview, mid-point check-in, and final presentation. We work asynchronously and minimize meeting load.
What access do you need?
Read access to tool admin consoles (for usage data), access to relevant documentation, and time with key stakeholders. No production code access required.
