You stress-test an architecture design by iteratively questioning every decision and dependency one at a time until contradictions and gaps are exposed. This relentless design questioning resolves uncertainty and forces shared understanding across branching tradeoffs.

Resolving misalignment during a system design review involves traversing the decision tree by asking questions one at a time. Walking each branch individually forces direct answers, reconciles conflicting tradeoffs, and converges the team on specific recommendations.

Yes, you can use codebase analysis to answer design review questions by inspecting the existing repository implementation. When answers are derivable from the codebase, the review process prioritizes exploring the code to validate requirements and resolve dependencies.

You conduct an architecture planning walkthrough for branching tradeoffs by applying scenario-based questioning that maps every decision dependency. Exploring each branch sequentially reconciles conflicting tradeoffs and exposes gaps within the system design.

You should avoid a decision tree approach for requirements interviewing when your plan lacks sufficient branching tradeoffs or codebase dependencies to question. If the architecture is already fully aligned with no uncertainty, iterative questioning adds unnecessary overhead.
