Stabilize the architecture of your AI-built app.
Boundary enforcement, dependency resolution, test baseline — structural stabilization that stops regression cascades.
Architecture stabilization is available after diagnostic confirmation identifies the structural failure patterns.
Who this is for
You built an application with Cursor, Lovable, Bolt.new, Replit, or v0. It works — but the structure is fighting you:
- Every change breaks something unrelated
- Files have grown past 500–1,000 lines
- Circular dependencies make changes unpredictable
- Tests are missing or unreliable
- Development is getting slower with every sprint
- You're afraid to touch working code
What you're experiencing is not a quality issue. It is a structural condition — measurable, predictable, and addressable.
What stabilization addresses
Boundary corrections (RC01: Architecture Drift)
Layer boundaries are re-established. Business logic is separated from route handlers and UI components. Files are decomposed to maintainable size.
Dependency resolution (RC02: Dependency Corruption)
Circular dependencies are identified and broken. The dependency graph is linearized. Module isolation is restored.
Structural standardization (RC03: Structural Entropy)
Naming conventions are unified. Duplicate business logic is consolidated. Standard infrastructure files are established.
Test baseline (RC04: Test Infrastructure Failure)
A structural test baseline is established — not 100% coverage, but coverage of critical paths that prevent regression.
CI/CD safety enforcement (RC05: No Deployment Safety Net)
Automated enforcement layer: lint checks, test execution, boundary validation, build verification. Unsafe changes are blocked before production.
What stabilization does not address
- Adding new features or business logic
- Rewriting the application from scratch
- Changing the technology stack
- Providing ongoing maintenance
- Replacing the development team
The codebase remains yours. The architecture becomes self-protecting — future unsafe changes are automatically blocked by the enforcement layer.
Why diagnostic first
Architecture stabilization without diagnostic is guesswork.
The structural failure patterns differ significantly between codebases. A codebase with 15 circular dependencies and 3% test coverage requires a different stabilization sequence than one with clean dependencies but no CI/CD enforcement.
The diagnostic identifies:
- Which root causes are active and at what severity
- Which failure patterns are present and measurable
- What the prioritized remediation sequence is
- What the realistic effort and timeline look like
Without this data, stabilization work risks addressing symptoms instead of root causes.

FAQ
Can I skip the diagnostic and go straight to stabilization?
No. Before performing stabilization work, we need to identify the structural failure patterns present in your codebase. This is done through the Quick Scan or Full Audit.
How long does stabilization take?
A structured stabilization sprint typically takes 2–5 days, depending on the number of active root causes and their severity.
Will stabilization break existing features?
The process is designed to preserve existing functionality. Boundary corrections and dependency resolution are performed incrementally — each step is verified before proceeding.
Can I do this myself with the diagnostic report?
Yes. The diagnostic report includes detection scripts and prioritized findings. If you have an experienced architect, the report provides the roadmap.
Structural stabilization services are available after diagnostic confirmation. Because structural failures differ significantly between codebases, remediation is performed only after forensic analysis identifies the root causes.
Structural risks compound over time.
The earlier the structural state is measured, the lower the remediation cost.
