FAQ

How is this different from QA?

QA validates implementation behavior. This audit validates launch confidence and release readiness before full implementation. Both are important and run well in parallel.

How long does an audit take?

Most teams run a meaningful first audit in one to two weeks. Subsequent audits for the same product area become faster as patterns and ownership structures are established.

Can this prevent production incidents?

Yes. Teams that validate edge cases and ownership early typically reduce incident risk significantly. The audit surfaces gaps that would otherwise become production surprises.

Should we audit every release?

Run full audits for high-risk releases and lighter audits for low-risk iterations. Establish a risk threshold that determines when a full audit is warranted.
