Engineering Review Lens Examples

Positive example — evidence-bearing architecture review

• Context: a redesign changes ownership and a widely observed response shape.
• Mode: architecture-review.
• Decision: inspect consumer telemetry, failure history, incremental migration, and ownership before choosing the boundary.
• Why it fits: each lens changes a decision or verification step.

Negative example — slogan theater

• Context: a local helper rename has no systemic effect.
• Mode: lightweight.
• Bad decision: reject it by citing multiple named laws without evidence.
• Better decision: review the local compatibility and clarity impact directly.
