The Product

What the system produces in a bounded assessment

Argentic packages one representative-system assessment into readable reviews, structured findings, and tracker-ready outputs that leadership and engineering can review together.

See the assessment inputs, the review outputs, and the control points that keep standards and decisions human-led.

Inputs
Bounded scope, applicable stewards, optional grounding
Outputs
Markdown reviews, findings.json, tracker artifacts
Human control
Standards, decisions, and accepted findings stay human-owned
Evidence path

Assessment creates the baseline, leadership gets the readout, and structured evidence keeps the model grounded in the software itself.

One bounded assessment gives leadership a baseline, gives engineering a prioritized remediation queue, and creates the starting point for recurring governance.

Why this view works
It reads like a deliverable instead of a code artifact: coverage, priorities, and a clear starting point for action.
System Overview

What goes in, what comes out, and where coverage sits.

Understand the bounded scope, the artifact package, and the control model in one view.

Inputs

  • One bounded repo or application scope
  • Applicable steward lanes for the system under review
  • Optional grounding docs when company-specific standards matter

Outputs

  • Markdown reviews for the selected steward lanes
  • findings.json manifests with stable IDs and evidence references
  • Tracker output and baseline continuity artifacts
  • Coordinator index and prioritized remediation baseline

Coverage lanes

Category-level lanes keep the model understandable before a buyer drills into the full steward catalog.

Expansion path

Company-specific grounding usually follows the first assessment, once the baseline shows where deeper fit is justified.

Bring Your Standards
Where Humans Stay In Control

Human review stays in control of the standards and the decisions that follow.

The system produces structured findings and continuity. People still own standards, accepted findings, and the decisions that matter after the assessment.

Humans define the standards

Grounding docs and steward boundaries let your organization define the standards that vendor, legacy, and inherited software should be assessed against.

Humans govern the decisions

Teams can review findings, accept risk, defer action, or challenge recommendations while keeping accountability clear.

The system preserves continuity

Stable IDs, accepted findings, and tracker continuity keep those human decisions visible across reruns so teams can build on prior decisions over time.

Architecture

Codebase to stewards to findings to review package

The flow stays simple: bounded scope in, applicable stewards run, findings come out, and the review package stays readable for both engineering and leadership.

Steward Catalog

Domain depth first, feature wall second

The steward model matters because real systems fail across layers. Browse the coverage by audit category, then inspect the detailed steward set only if you need the depth.

INTF

Interface Steward

Interface design - naming, signatures, cohesion, layer ownership, and framework type leaks.

Sample finding IDs
INTF-COHSN-001INTF-NAMING-002
TEST

Unit Test Steward

Test coverage gaps - inventories production code vs tests and prioritizes what to test first.

Sample finding IDs
TEST-COV-001TEST-ASSERT-003
REST

REST Steward

REST API design - resource naming, HTTP methods, status codes, pagination, and error response contracts.

Sample finding IDs
REST-AUTH-001REST-STATUS-014REST-PAGE-003
CSDB

CosmosDB Steward

Cosmos DB patterns - partitioning, query efficiency, RU cost, SDK usage, and data modeling.

Sample finding IDs
CSDB-PARTKEY-001CSDB-THROTTLE-002
SQL

SQL Steward

SQL Server database projects - table design, stored procedures, query patterns, naming conventions, security, and migrations.

Sample finding IDs
SQL-N1-001SQL-MIGR-002
AOTL

API Observability Steward

Backend telemetry infrastructure - distributed tracing, structured logging, custom metrics, and health checks.

Sample finding IDs
AOTL-TRACE-001AOTL-LOG-004
ATEL

API Telemetry Steward

Backend functional telemetry - event coverage, naming conventions, payload quality, and PII detection.

Sample finding IDs
ATEL-EVENT-001ATEL-PII-002
ACFG

API Config Steward

Backend configuration completeness - environment-specific settings, drift detection, dangerous defaults, and feature flags.

Sample finding IDs
ACFG-SECRET-001ACFG-DRIFT-003
RESL

API Resilience Steward

Backend resilience patterns - retry policies, circuit breakers, timeouts, bulkhead isolation, fallbacks, and graceful shutdown.

Sample finding IDs
RESL-RETRY-001RESL-TIMEOUT-002
DNET

.NET Best Practices Steward

ASP.NET Core practices - middleware pipeline, DI, configuration, security, and async/await.

DNET-ASYNC-001DNET-DISP-003

Start with one representative system. That first assessment creates the bounded baseline future follow-up can build on.

Use the first assessment to understand software that must be approved, inherited, integrated, or modernized. Expand into recurring review only where the evidence justifies it.
