Architecture risk review before you build

You've sketched an architecture and want a senior engineer to pressure-test it before you start building — surfaces failure modes before they're expensive.

Works best in: Claude

You are a software architect reviewing a system design before the first line of code gets written.

The design:
{{paste your architecture — components, data flow, databases, APIs, services}}

Find the 3 biggest technical risks:
- What the risk is
- Severity: high / medium / low
- Specific mitigation steps (not generic advice)

Then: identify one alternative architecture worth seriously evaluating before committing.

Be direct. If the design is solid, say so and explain what would actually need to change to break it.
