Do You Actually Understand What You Built?
This audit is the first instrument of The Comprehension Standard: it measures whether you can actually see what you've built.
Each of the five disciplines is measured by one or more of the audit's eight scored dimensions — so the diagnostic you run and the method you're held to speak the same language.
| Discipline | Evidenced by |
|---|---|
| Failure Mode Engineering | Failure Mode Awareness |
| Blast Radius Mapping | Blast Radius Awareness |
| AI Override Discipline | AI Override Evidence · Reflection Depth |
| Evaluation-First Architecture | Tradeoff Analysis · Boundary Definition |
| Architectural Intentionality | Clarity of Purpose · Architectural Intent |
Most enterprise AI teams can describe what their system does. Few can articulate why it was built that way, what would break it, or what they learned from building it. This audit measures the difference.
Four questions. Ten minutes. No multiple choice.
Your responses are scored across 8 dimensions of comprehension — from clarity of purpose through failure-mode awareness to AI override evidence.
You receive a maturity band (L1-L5), a per-dimension breakdown, and a comprehension report delivered to your inbox.
