# Independent Technical Review

**Bring experienced outside scrutiny to the moments that matter most.**

SafeCode’s Independent Technical Review provides a focused, defined-scope assessment of code, design, architecture, interfaces, or review readiness at a critical milestone. It helps organizations surface material risks, challenge weak assumptions, and strengthen decision-making before formal reviews, customer exposure, or downstream rework.

**Best-fit situations**

- You are approaching a critical design review, technical review board, or major program gate.
- Your team wants independent scrutiny before presenting to a customer, regulator, DER, or senior leadership.
- The program involves safety-critical software, unfamiliar requirements, or a novel technical approach.
- Internal teams need a credible outside view to validate direction or expose concerns early.
- You need a short, high-value engagement rather than open-ended consulting support.

**What is included**

- Scoping call to define the review objective, focal areas, materials, and constraints.
- Review of selected technical materials, such as architecture, design descriptions, source code, interfaces, plans, or review packages.
- Focused assessment of technical soundness, assumptions, risk concentration, and review readiness.
- Identification of issues that may affect execution, verification, certifiability, maintainability, or technical credibility.
- Outbrief with observations, concerns, and recommended next actions.

**Deliverables**

- Independent review findings memorandum.
- Prioritized list of technical concerns, weaknesses, and watch items.
- Decision-oriented recommendations for correction, follow-up analysis, or deeper review.
- Optional support for review preparation or participation in the review event itself.

**Typical engagement range**
Exact pricing will be established before work begins, but the client can generally expect to pay $9,000–$24,000, depending on preparation time, artifact volume, and whether review participation or written follow-up is included.

**Scope note**This engagement is designed to provide independent technical judgment on a defined review scope. It is not a substitute for full program execution, formal certification representation, or comprehensive remediation unless expanded into follow-on work.

For a broader discussion of when and why to use this engagement, see [Independent technical review for safety-critical and high-assurance software programs](https://www.perplexity.ai/work/services/i/independent-technical-review.html).
