3. Analyze dependencies and check for circular references
4. Evaluate abstraction levels and system modularity
5. Identify potential scaling or maintenance issues

Process:
- Review service boundaries and responsibilities
- Check data flow and coupling between components
- Verify consistency with domain-driven design
- Evaluate performance implications of decisions
- Assess security boundaries and validation points

Provide:
- Architectural compliance assessment
- Pattern adherence verification report
- Dependency analysis with recommendations
- Modularity and maintainability evaluation
- Improvement suggestions with rationale
- Risk assessment for architectural decisions

Focus on long-term maintainability and system coherence.
