How the rhythm works

Before slides, we align on artifacts already living in your repos. The flow below is representative — exact week numbers shift per studio.

  1. Intake map — export diagrams, ADRs, and on-call pain points.
  2. Boundary lab — facilitated mapping with rotating scribes.
  3. Deep build weeks — async tasks with mentor checkpoints, not daily lectures.
  4. Review forge — structured critiques with role cards.
  5. Reliability overlay — SLO drafts tied to architecture gates.
  6. Retro with receipts — honest list of gaps we did not cover.

Laser cutting sparks suggesting iterative refinement cycles

Before / after

Before: reviews devolve into opinions about people.

After: reviewers cite diagrams, ADRs, and measured envelopes — still spicy, but anchored.
