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.
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.
Company-specific grounding usually follows the first assessment, once the baseline shows where deeper fit is justified.
Bring Your StandardsHuman 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.
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.
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.
INTFInterface Steward
Interface design - naming, signatures, cohesion, layer ownership, and framework type leaks.
INTF-COHSN-001INTF-NAMING-002TESTUnit Test Steward
Test coverage gaps - inventories production code vs tests and prioritizes what to test first.
TEST-COV-001TEST-ASSERT-003RESTREST Steward
REST API design - resource naming, HTTP methods, status codes, pagination, and error response contracts.
REST-AUTH-001REST-STATUS-014REST-PAGE-003CSDBCosmosDB Steward
Cosmos DB patterns - partitioning, query efficiency, RU cost, SDK usage, and data modeling.
CSDB-PARTKEY-001CSDB-THROTTLE-002SQLSQL Steward
SQL Server database projects - table design, stored procedures, query patterns, naming conventions, security, and migrations.
SQL-N1-001SQL-MIGR-002AOTLAPI Observability Steward
Backend telemetry infrastructure - distributed tracing, structured logging, custom metrics, and health checks.
AOTL-TRACE-001AOTL-LOG-004ATELAPI Telemetry Steward
Backend functional telemetry - event coverage, naming conventions, payload quality, and PII detection.
ATEL-EVENT-001ATEL-PII-002ACFGAPI Config Steward
Backend configuration completeness - environment-specific settings, drift detection, dangerous defaults, and feature flags.
ACFG-SECRET-001ACFG-DRIFT-003RESLAPI Resilience Steward
Backend resilience patterns - retry policies, circuit breakers, timeouts, bulkhead isolation, fallbacks, and graceful shutdown.
RESL-RETRY-001RESL-TIMEOUT-002DNET.NET Best Practices Steward
ASP.NET Core practices - middleware pipeline, DI, configuration, security, and async/await.
DNET-ASYNC-001DNET-DISP-003Start 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.
