Comprehensive Code Review

Everything in Standard, plus:

• 25K–100K LoC range. Larger codebases priced separately — email daniel.kemp@hamiltonridley.com.
• Deployment-context anchors — the rubric tightens based on your context. Regulated data raises Security A- tier expectations. Multi-tenant raises Architecture expectations. Consumer-at-scale raises Performance expectations.
• Executive summary appendix — a single-page board-ready summary distributable to non-technical stakeholders.
• Optional runtime smoke checks — we exercise critical paths against your deployed instance (with your supervision) to surface issues that only manifest at runtime.
• 60-minute architecture walkthrough— covers the review's findings AND the next 6–12 months of architectural decisions you should be thinking about.
• 60 days of follow-up email (vs 30 for Standard).

The 10-category rubric, with deployment-context anchors

Comprehensive applies the same 10-category framework as Standard, but with deployment-context tightening on the A-tier thresholds for Security, Architecture, Reliability, and Performance. Read the full rubric (Field Notes Vol 06) →

Why HRC and not a free LLM tool?

For a $4K Comprehensive, this question deserves a real answer. Three condensed points; the long-form essay version is “The Sycophancy Tax” in Field Notes Vol 07.

• 01
  A real engineer signs your report. Daniel personally finalizes the deliverable, runs the 60-minute architecture walkthrough, and stands behind it. Hyperscalers ship products at scale; they don't run consulting ladders.
• 02
  Deployment-context anchored severity. Comprehensive tightens the A-tier thresholds based on whether your code handles regulated data, multi-tenant isolation, or consumer-scale traffic. A generic LLM tool can't take that context-specific posture without inviting legal exposure on the wrong call.
• 03
  50+ pages of operating procedure. Tone rules, decisions-vs-findings split, score caps, re-review protocol, runtime-check workflow — the adjudication procedure refined across every review we ship. A 10-category rubric in a blog post isn't the same product.
