Contact Name(Required)
Is the overall technical architecture documented with up-to-date diagrams covering all major systems and their integrations?(Required)
Is the architecture designed for the organization's projected growth over the next 2–3 years without a major re-platform?(Required)
Is technical debt tracked in a backlog or register with prioritization by business impact?(Required)
Is a defined percentage of each engineering sprint or quarter allocated to technical debt reduction?(Required)
Are uptime and availability targets (SLAs/SLOs) formally defined for all production systems?(Required)
Is there a documented incident response process with defined severity levels, escalation paths, and post-mortems?(Required)
Is there a current inventory of all security controls mapped to the systems and data they protect?(Required)
Is there a vulnerability management process that identifies, prioritizes, and remediates vulnerabilities within defined SLAs?(Required)
Is peer code review required for all changes merged to the main or production branch?(Required)
Is automated test coverage (unit + integration) tracked and maintained above a defined minimum threshold?(Required)
Are all production deployments executed through an automated CI/CD pipeline — with no manual file transfers or remote access deployments?(Required)
Is the engineering team able to deploy to production at least weekly without a scheduled release window?(Required)
Is cloud infrastructure provisioned and managed through Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or equivalent)?(Required)
Is cloud spend monitored with budget alerts, and are cost anomalies investigated within 48 hours of detection?(Required)
Is the data model (schemas, entity relationships, data flows) documented and kept current?(Required)
Are automated data quality checks in place to detect and alert on anomalies or schema violations in production data pipelines?(Required)
Is structured logging in place across all production services with logs aggregated to a centralized, searchable platform?(Required)
Are automated alerts configured for all critical system metrics (error rate, latency, saturation, traffic)?(Required)
Is there a technology vendor register with contract terms, renewal dates, and SLA commitments documented?(Required)
Has the organization assessed its vendor concentration risk and identified single-vendor dependencies for critical systems?(Required)
Is there a documented skills matrix for the engineering team covering critical technical competencies?(Required)
Is there at least one other team member who can cover each critical system in the event of an unplanned absence?(Required)
Is there a documented technology strategy aligned to the business plan, reviewed and updated at least annually?(Required)
Is technology performance (reliability, security posture, delivery velocity) reported to the board or executive leadership quarterly?(Required)
