Architecture Review
Architecture review literacy — review charter, scope boundary, checklist stub, finding severity, sign-off literacy stub — named review rows on YOUR `$ARCH_LAB` LAB-ARCH-001 only.
Visual · t41_architecture_review
Architecture review = named review rows. $ARCH_LAB LAB-ARCH-001. Original Cyberlium.
Architecture reviews validate design before build — name charter and checklist rows on YOUR lab org before conducting unauthorized reviews on stranger org systems.
Architecture review literacy names: review charter stub category, scope boundary category, review checklist stub category, finding severity scale category, and sign-off literacy stub category. Analyst documents architecture review plan on `$ARCH_LAB` LAB-ARCH-001 — scope cites Modules 6–8 artifacts labeled LAB — without reviewing stranger org live systems, without presenting lab review as live employer sign-off without authorization, without offensive penetration architecture as 'review finding.' Cyberlium teaches review process vocabulary — educational only. Refused: stranger org system reviews, forged sign-offs, offensive attack design in review packs. Lab row: architecture review plan (charter, scope, checklist, LAB-ARCH-001 label).
1. Named review rows
Charter, scope boundary, checklist, severity scale, sign-off stub — five literacy anchors.
Scope cites `$ARCH_LAB` LAB-ARCH-001 Modules 6–8 pack — same org thread.

Primary tools to practice this lesson: curl, grep. Reference sites: NIST 800-53 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-53/rev-5/final); OWASP ASVS (https://owasp.org/www-project-application-security-verification-standard/); Microsoft SDL (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/securityengineering/sdl/). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.
2. Scope discipline
Scope boundary documents LAB fictional org — not silent stranger org inclusion.
Checklist stub lists defensive design criteria — not offensive exploit recipes.
3. Refused
No stranger org system reviews; no forged sign-offs; no offensive findings in review pack.
Review literacy supports honest assessment — not unauthorized audits.
4. What you ship: architecture review plan
Charter + scope + checklist + severity + NEVER stranger org review line.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Architecture review plan path.
6. Wrong vs right: offensive playbooks vs YOUR threat models
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
- Wrong: Conduct 'architecture review' on stranger org using leaked diagrams as course lab.
- Right: Architecture review plan from `$ARCH_LAB` LAB-ARCH-001. Next: Threat Model Reviews.
Mission: architecture review plan
1) Name five architecture review literacy rows. 2) Scope linked to Modules 6–8 pack. 3) Checklist with defensive criteria only. 4) Write NEVER stranger org review line.
