A useful health check does not begin with a feature list. It begins with the decisions the environment must support, the risks stakeholders perceive and the points where users have created parallel workarounds.
The review should connect four perspectives: processes, data, architecture and operations. Processes show friction; data reveals quality and traceability; architecture makes integrations and extensions visible; operations expose incidents, access and the capacity for change.
The outcome should not be a catalogue of issues. It should be a prioritised map with impact, dependencies, risk and the next decision. This turns the assessment into a governance foundation rather than a technical snapshot.
