Design the system before you run it.
Architecture defines what is possible. Execution cannot override it.
You are already operating a revenue system.
This determines whether it works.
Before any execution begins, the revenue system must be structurally defined. ICP viability, ACV sustainability, pipeline requirements, capacity limits, and conversion assumptions are architectural decisions — not operational ones.
If your system cannot produce your ARR target, it will fail. This identifies why.
Required before execution.
Six structural variables. All required.
Architecture is design. Not diagnosis.
Diagnosis looks at what went wrong after execution. Architecture defines the structural constraints before execution begins. One is reactive. The other is structural.
Architecture is Layer 01. Everything else depends on it.
Architecture begins with the audit.
The Revenue Reality Audit produces your validated architecture — the structural model all execution operates inside.
Required before execution.
This determines whether your system can produce your ARR target.
