We’re developing a software architecture maturity assessment to help firms understand where they have potential choke points in their scalability as well as where they may risk system failure for various reasons.
If your firm provides paid software, this assessment is for you.
You’ll get a comprehensive review of your own software platform or if you’re evaluating a potential investment, we’ll be happy to look it over as well.
This service is under development. Sign up today to get a free assessment. Our ask is that you give us feedback on the process.

Who Are We Building This For?
Founders & Senior Software Executives Who Know Something Is Wrong but Can’t Properly Identify It
Many executives arrive in a software leadership position having climbed the ladder on a particular path: sales, marketing, writing code, network administration, etc., and it’s very hard to develop a comprehensive understanding of a platform when much of the criteria are outside their historical wheelhouse.
Goals of our assessment for executives are:
- Fine tune strategy
- Create more productive processes
- Refine product roadmap
- Close existing vulnerabilities
- Create a more accurate budget forecast
- Enform hiring decisions
VC, Private Equity, & Other Investors Considering Putting Their Capital at Risk
With fake-it-til-you-make-it culture, puffery is expected.
Investors need to know:
- What they’re really getting
- Whether the proposed investment will cover the real needs
- How far from best-in-class a software is
Insurance Agencies
With many software platforms holding sensitive personal and/or the keys to real people’s financial instruments, the potential for damage awards in litigation is massive.
Understanding what the potential risks are and then being sure an appropriate insurance policy is written is critical for both parties.
What Does the Software Architecture Maturity Assessment Accomplish?
In a more efficient and organized way than otherwise possible, the assessment gives decision-makers numerous points of concern and recommendations from which to mitigate risk, future-proof, and accelerate growth.
Assessment Lenses:
- Scalability
- Interoperability/Integration
- UI Experience
- Security
- Monitoring
- Data Management
- Configuration Management
- Dependency Management
- Disaster Recovery
- Fault Tolerance
- Documentation
- Availability & Redundancy
- Continuous:
- Integration
- Deployment
- Testing
How Are the Results Delivered?
Within the categories above, over 200 sub-points are covered with ample documentation and a live debrief session (video recording optional).
Task management can then ensue within the appropriate teams, which may need to be adjusted.
As the various parts of the maturity assessment are completed, risk of disruption is significantly reduced and scalability becomes much simpler.
