Architecture Advisory Retainer
Monthly office hours and async reviews that keep platform decisions from drifting while teams ship.
A lightweight advisory loop for organizations that already have strong engineers but need an external sounding board for trade-offs. We comment on RFCs, challenge assumptions politely, and keep notes so context survives personnel changes.
Capabilities inside this path
- Two live advisory sessions per month (90 minutes each)
- Written feedback on up to four RFCs monthly
- Quarterly executive summary of recurring themes
- Reference patterns for service boundaries and data contracts
- Async Slack-style queue with 48-hour turnaround targets
- Escalation path for contentious decisions with decision logs
Outcomes teams measure
- Fewer surprise rework loops between teams
- More consistent documentation habits on proposals
- Calmer reviews because alternatives are named early
Solution architect with background in event-driven systems and internal developer portals.
Duration: 4 weeks (renewable) · Indicative fee: KRW 2,800,000
Questions teams asked mid-flight
Yes. You may bank one session per quarter with 14 days written notice so capacity swings do not waste budget.
Recent participant reflections
We used the Architecture Advisory Retainer during a gateway redesign. The written RFC feedback referenced our own Platform Discovery Sprint artifact—continuity we did not expect from an external group.
