See where your trading system carries risk, before it reaches production.
A fixed-scope, read-only assessment of your live or pre-launch trading system across seven dimensions — execution, market data, risk controls, deployment, and operations. You leave with written findings, a severity-ranked scorecard, and a prioritized remediation sequence.
Best fit
Institutional trading, execution, and engineering teams approaching a go-live decision, reviewing after a near-miss or incident, or carrying key-person concentration in the stack.
Evidence standard
Methodology grounded in a working, benchmarked market-making system and delivered engagements (prototype-proven). The assessment is read-only: no production access, no capital moved. Not a code rewrite, and no live-production track-record or P&L assurance is claimed.
What you get
- 01Findings report — one finding per issue: observed evidence, severity, the risk it carries, and a recommended action.
- 02Seven-dimension scorecard — current state against a defined bar.
- 03Latency and risk-control map — where the hot path spends time, and where pre-trade checks live.
- 04Prioritized remediation sequence — dependency-ordered next steps.
- 05Recorded readout — a working session through the findings.
What gets assessed
- 01Hot-path behavior — per-stage latency budget, benchmarked on declared hardware.
- 02Risk controls — pre-trade checks at a single chokepoint, in deterministic order.
- 03Inventory and quoting discipline — reservation pricing and skew under accumulated inventory.
- 04Deployment governance — staged promotion gates, canary, and rollback as a rehearsed step.
- 05Operator surface — severity model, flatten and rollback drills, bounded canary envelope.
- 06State-space coverage — behavior under accumulated state, not only fresh state.
- 07Key-person and reproducibility — architecture that matches runtime, with a runbook and a second operator.
