Bring Your Standards

Turn your architecture, security, telemetry, release, and platform expectations into repeatable review criteria

Grounding is how Argentic evaluates vendor-delivered, legacy, and inherited software against how your organization actually expects systems to be built and governed.

Most teams do this after the first assessment, not before it.

Once the standards layer is working, custom steward development can extend coverage for internal frameworks, proprietary platforms, and deeper policy enforcement.

Ground standards first, extend only where it matters

Use grounding to reduce reviewer-to-reviewer interpretation drift, preserve accepted exceptions, and apply the same expectations across vendor, legacy, and recurring reviews.

Grounding

How Argentic applies your standards in practice

The first step is grounding: encoding the standards, policies, and delivery rules that matter in your engineering organization so findings reflect your environment consistently.

Grounding docs for company standards

Encode internal architecture, security, telemetry, release, configuration, and platform standards as explicit review rules so they stay consistent across teams and over time.

Policy-aware recurring reviews

Once grounded, recurring runs can evaluate vendor-delivered, legacy, or critical internal systems against your own expectations alongside broader best practices.

Custom steward development

When your environment needs deeper fit, custom stewards add coverage for internal frameworks, proprietary platforms, and specialized control domains.

Best Use Cases
Vendor-delivered software reviews
Recurring governance on critical systems
Internal platform enforcement across teams
Inherited systems that must be evaluated against company standards

Start by grounding the standards that already matter to your organization

Use an Assessment to decide which standards should be grounded first, then identify where custom steward development would add the most leverage across vendor, legacy, inherited, or recurring review work.
