When to request an independent SAP BTP architecture review
Use this page to decide whether the issue should stop being internally absorbed. If the decision no longer converges, move to a fixed‑scope review.
Decision triggers
- No team can legitimately approve the next change end‑to‑end.
- Work continues; the decision does not converge.
- Teams are locally correct; the system remains globally unstable.
- Rollout or hardening exposes assumptions that should have been settled earlier.
- Works in Postman; fails behind App Router or Work Zone.
- Tenant variance appears during onboarding or expansion.
- Vendor or internal teams disagree and no one owns the chain.
- The second tenant exposes assumptions hidden by the first tenant.
- A security hardening step breaks flows that previously looked stable.
Why continuing internally may feel safer — and still increase risk
Familiar delivery motions lower friction, not risk. When the failure is jurisdiction across boundaries, more implementation entrenches the wrong contract and delays the decision.
What you probably do not need me for
- Staffing on implementation or delivery tickets.
- Low‑level troubleshooting with clear ownership already established.
- Generic advisory without a concrete architectural decision to make.
What to send
Send one structured page:
- Landscape — S/4, BTP runtimes, entry surfaces, identity
- Divergence — what works where; what fails where
- Timeline — go‑live, rollout, recent changes
- Ownership — who holds what today
- Decision — the choice that cannot converge
Which service path this usually maps to
- One high-signal failure pattern → Strategic Boundary Verdict
- Recurring incidents across teams or boundaries → Full Boundary Audit
- Ongoing program-level architectural arbitration → Architecture Verdict Authority
What happens next
I confirm whether the situation matches a boundary failure pattern. If appropriate, we proceed with a fixed‑scope review, audit, or verdict authority format — defined in writing, time‑bounded, and outcome‑specific. No sales funnel.
