    About this template

    A technical-quality radar gives engineering leaders a snapshot of where a codebase is healthy and where the next quarter of platform investment should go. Scalability, maintainability, test coverage, performance and documentation are the dimensions that most reliably predict whether a team will be able to ship in two years. Use it for architecture reviews, due diligence on a code acquisition, or to make the case for a refactor sprint with actual evidence instead of vibes.

    Attributes included

    • Scalability

      How well the system handles 10× current load without rearchitecture.

    • Maintainability

      How quickly a new engineer can understand and safely change the code.

    • Test Coverage

      Combination of coverage percentage and how meaningful those tests are.

    • Performance

      Latency, throughput and resource efficiency at production load.

    • Documentation

      Whether decisions, architecture and runbooks exist and are current.
