Product Engineers
Try Tech Risk GenAI
Use systematic technical risk analysis to deliver reliable, scalable systems on time.
Engineering Nightmare Scenarios
Every engineer has lived through these.
ProductCents prevents them all.
🔗 Dependency Hell
Three weeks before launch, you discover a critical dependency that requires API changes across 5 services. The "simple" integration becomes a 2-month rebuild.
📈 Scale Surprises
The architecture you designed for 1K users breaks down at 10K. What seemed scalable in testing becomes a bottleneck in production, requiring emergency rewrites.
🔌 Integration Nightmares
Enterprise customers need integrations with systems you've never heard of. "Simple" data sync becomes months of custom connector development.
⚡ Performance Cliffs
The system works perfectly until one specific usage pattern creates exponential performance degradation. A 1-second response becomes 30 seconds.
Technical Risk Assessment Framework
Systematic Analysis Before You Build
Identify technical risks, dependency chains, and integration challenges before they become costly surprises.
Build systems that scale from day one.
🏗️ Architecture Risk Analysis
Evaluate scalability, maintainability, and performance risks in proposed architectures
Engineering Intelligence Benefits
Dependency Mapping
Map all technical dependencies before development starts, including hidden transitive dependencies that cause surprises.
Scalability Planning
Design for scale from the beginning by identifying performance bottlenecks and resource constraints early.
Integration Assessment
Evaluate integration complexity and identify potential failure points before committing to architectural decisions.
Technical Debt Prevention
Prevent technical debt by identifying architectural risks that will require future rewrites or major refactoring.
Technical Intelligence That Covers Everything
From architecture decisions to deployment dependencies
Tech Risk Register
Architecture & Implementation
Systematic evaluation of architectural decisions, implementation complexity, scalability requirements, and dependencies before development begins.
• Scalability analysis • Dependency mapping • Performance modeling
Delivery Analysis
Dependencies & Timeline Risks
Map every dependency in your delivery pipeline, identify critical path risks, and prevent "surprise" blockers that derail development timelines.
• Critical path analysis • Resource bottlenecks • Timeline modeling
Integration Intelligence
External Systems & APIs
Track external systems, API dependencies, and integration requirements. Identify integration risks before they become customer blockers.
• API compatibility • Integration complexity • Failure modes
Technical Documentation
Decision Records & Patterns
Document architectural decisions, risk assessments, and proven patterns to build institutional knowledge and prevent repeated mistakes.
• Architecture decisions • Risk patterns • Best practices
Integrate Into Your Development Workflow
Technical risk analysis that fits naturally into how engineers work
📐
Architecture Reviews
Use risk intelligence during architecture reviews to identify scalability and integration risks before implementation.
🚀
Sprint Planning
Factor dependency risks and technical complexity into sprint planning and capacity estimation.
🔍
Technical Debt Planning
Systematically identify and prioritize technical debt based on risk impact and business consequences.
Real Technical Risks ProductCents Identifies
Actual examples from engineering teams using systematic risk analysis
🔍 Hidden Dependency Risk
Risk: New feature requires API changes in 3 upstream services owned by different teams.
Impact: 6-week delay as teams coordinate breaking changes and migration strategies.
Prevention: Dependency mapping during planning phase reveals coordination needs early.
📈 Scale Ceiling Risk
Risk: Database queries work fine with 1K records but become exponentially slow at 100K+.
Impact: Emergency database redesign during high-growth period causes customer experience issues.
Prevention: Performance modeling identifies scaling bottlenecks before implementation.
🔌 Integration Complexity Risk
Risk: Enterprise customer needs integration with legacy system using proprietary protocols.
Impact: 3-month custom integration development blocks major deal closure.
Prevention: Integration assessment reveals complexity during sales process.
🔒 Security Architecture Risk
Risk: Microservices architecture creates complex security boundary management.
Impact: Security audit reveals 12 critical vulnerabilities requiring architecture changes.
Prevention: Security risk analysis during architecture design prevents vulnerabilities.
