Architecture Audit
60 minutes with a BaileyFinch principal engineer. A written architectural review delivered within 5 business days. The purpose is to surface what will and will not survive production. No charge.
Request your audit
We review every request within 24 hours and confirm a session time inside two business days.
What we cover
01
Graph topology, state transitions, agent boundaries, the difference between what the engineer decides and what the model is allowed to invent.
02
Checkpoints, persistence, durability, replay. Whether the system can resume after a failure or only restart from zero.
03
Traces, logs, decision rationale, audit trail. Whether you can answer the question of why the agent did what it did when an operator asks.
04
Schema validation, allow-lists, budget thresholds, sandboxed tool calls, kill switches. The deterministic safety net inside the graph, not the human in the loop on every step.
05
LangGraph, LangChain, raw SDKs, or no framework. Whether the current choice is earning its place or costing more than it saves.
06
Environment, compliance posture, monitoring, rollback strategy. The distance between the prototype that works and the system that runs.
Who this is for
You have a working prototype and you need an honest read on what breaks when real users hit it. The architectural decisions that hold a demo together rarely hold at production volume.
You did not architect it. You need an independent read on what is solid, what needs investment, and what is rebuild-only. The audit gives you something defensible to bring to the executive review.
You need a defensible architectural posture for compliance review, an auditable trace story, and a clear position on framework choice. The audit produces written artifacts your security team can read.
Why BaileyFinch
BaileyFinch is an SDVOSB AI strategy and engineering firm. Our principal engineers ship agent systems into federal agencies, regulated enterprise, and defense primes. The audit reflects the same architectural discipline we apply on paid engagements: graph-first design, deterministic gates inside the graph, observability before autonomy, models treated as interchangeable nodes inside a durable architecture.
We build on LangGraph for control flow and LangChain for components, and we drop to raw SDKs when the abstraction costs more than it saves. We will tell you when an agent is the wrong tool and when a deterministic pipeline would serve you better. The 60 minutes is the same conversation we have on day one of a paid engagement.
Questions
Nothing. The 60-minute session and the written architectural summary are at no charge.
A one-page system overview or architecture sketch. After you submit, we send a short template that takes about 20 minutes to fill out. If you are still pre-build, send the proposed architecture or the problem statement.
Yes. We will sign yours, or we can use our standard mutual NDA. We have signed both federal and commercial agreements.
Same offer. The audit covers proposed architecture against production realities. Catching architectural drift before code is written is the cheapest possible time to catch it.
No. The written deliverable stands on its own and is yours to use. If there is a clear scope fit, we will say so directly. If there is not, we will say that too. There is no automated follow-up sequence and no newsletter enrollment.
One form. One conversation. One written summary. No newsletter signup, no automated follow-up.
