A solution architecture review is only as good as what it's given to review. Documenting the solution properly — context, options, decisions and impact — is half the battle.
It examines a proposed solution before it's built, checking that it's sound, aligned to standards, and fit for purpose across every architecture domain — and that the risks are understood.
A solution presented with no alternatives is hard to trust. Showing the options you considered — and why you rejected them — demonstrates rigour and makes the review far more productive.
A high-level concept review needs less detail than a pre-go-live review. Use review types so the depth of documentation matches the stage and the risk.
The Architecture Review Kit includes a solution review template plus review-type variants, so the depth always matches the stage and risk.
