Codebase and Architecture Readiness
Whether the underlying engineering can survive scrutiny from a federal CIO technical reviewer. Production-grade vs. proof-of-concept dressed up as product. Defensible vs. fragile.
4 scored points inside this domain.
Each point sits on the EFAIRA 30-point scorecard. Each point has a defined evidence baseline and a color-coded readiness mark on the Encore Readiness Receipt.
Codebase maturity
Production-ready codebase with test coverage, CI/CD discipline, and observable engineering practice. Not a proof-of-concept rebranded as a product.
Architecture defensibility
Architecture survives scrutiny from a federal CIO's technical reviewer. Decisions are documented and justified.
Dependency lineage
Open-source, foundation model, and third-party dependencies are inventoried and clearable for federal use. License obligations satisfied.
Deployment readiness
System can actually deploy into the agency's cloud or on-premises environment. Not a demo-only setup that breaks at deployment.
Score Domain II on your federal pursuit.
Encore engages with contractors and federal agencies through separate paths. Pick the right one for your role.
