Production readiness review

Four specialists review an environment in parallel and hand back one prioritised list of what to fix before you rely on it.

When to use it

Before a launch, a big customer, a funding round’s due diligence, or simply before the first night you sleep without checking.

  2. Stage 1 · 4 agents in parallel

    • NavigatorArchitecture

      Check the architecture

      Single points of failure, missing replicas, services without health checks, undocumented dependencies.

    • WardenSecurity review

      Check the exposure

      Public endpoints, TLS, secrets handling, IAM scope and database reachability.

    • LookoutObservability & incidents

      Check the signals

      Is there a health check, an error-rate signal and an alert that reaches a person for each service?

    • PurserCost

      Check the guardrails

      Budget caps, autoscaling limits and environments nobody owns.

  3. Stage 2

    • KaptenOrchestration

      One prioritised report

      Merges and de-duplicates findings, ranks them by blast radius and attaches a proposed fix to each.

  4. You get

    • A ranked readiness report
    • A proposed plan per fix, ready to review
    • A backup and restore checklist
