Engagement method
A repeatable path for mobile backend advisory — built for store release constraints, not slideware.
The method below underpins the flagship Mobile Backend Assessment and adapts for contract, sync, and auth engagements.
-
Access and release framing
We agree on read-only API and client access, list recent mobile releases, and name the product surface in scope. No production changes happen in this phase.
-
Client–API path sampling
Request shapes, auth flows, and sync edges are sampled against real journeys. Payload hotspots and silent failure modes are recorded with evidence links.
-
Contract and ownership review
Endpoints without owners or deprecation calendars are flagged. Versioning gaps between iOS and Android clients are scored by user impact.
-
Severity-ranked findings
Issues are scored by store-release risk and remediation effort. The backlog is ordered so your team can fund work without boiling the ocean.
-
Readout workshop
Leads walk through findings live. Decisions are captured as owners and target dates, then the engagement closes with written artifacts only.
