A clear-eyed audit of the current stack, debt and architectural risks — and what to fix first.
Founders inherit a stack that grew organically and nobody has the full picture. Without a baseline architecture map, debt register and scalability risk view, every modernization decision is a guess. This module installs the single source of truth for what's built, what's broken and what's next.
A senior-led delivery sequence — not a template dump. Each phase is operated with your team, not handed over as a deck.
Stand up working group, pull repos, infra inventories, vendor list and incident history; agree audit scope and severity rubric.
Build C4 + 4+1 views across app, data and infra; identify SPOFs, hot paths and undocumented coupling with system owners.
Score every debt item by severity × cost-of-delay; run scalability stress model (load × growth) and rank build-vs-buy candidates.
Sequence the 12-month modernization backlog with owners, dependencies and exec read-out; lock the prioritised plan.
