Architecture Assessment — Senior Review from $2K | Scalexa

Architecture Assessment — $2,000 to $15,000+

Short-form senior engineer review of an existing platform or a planned project. Output: a written report with three to five prioritised risks, hour estimates for remediation, and recommended next steps. Smaller scope than a full Code Audit ($3K-$5K) — designed to give you a defensible technical position before you spend bigger money.
