## Purpose

Review a system's architecture — how components/services are divided, how they communicate, where state lives, and how the pieces depend on each other — for scalability, coupling, and long-term maintainability, at a level above individual code review.

## When to Use

- Evaluating a proposed or existing system architecture.
- Before a significant scaling milestone, to find what will break first.
- A codebase feels hard to change, and the cause seems structural rather than isolated to one file.

## What to Analyze

1. **Separation of concerns** — are responsibilities cleanly divided (data access, business logic, presentation), or is logic scattered/duplicated across layers that shouldn't need to know about each other?
2. **Coupling** — how many places break if one component changes its interface? Tight coupling between components that should be independent is the main long-term maintainability risk.
