How do you assess architecture impact during a corporate pivot?

Tests business-technical alignment under strategic uncertainty. Strong answers map new outcomes to capability gaps, assess debt and migration cost, then co-own replanning with product. Red flag: proposing a full rewrite before understanding limits or ROI.
Tests whether a senior engineer can translate a sudden business pivot into coherent technical action without panic rewrites. A strong process clarifies new outcomes with leadership, audits architecture for capability gaps and debt, then models migration cost against opportunity cost. It identifies quick wins versus foundational bets, sequences work, and co-authors a revised roadmap with product. Red flag: isolating analysis to engineering, skipping cost modeling, or defaulting to a full rewrite before validating ROI.
