What is the Fix the Architecture Review Bottleneck course about?

You finalize a proposal, submit for review, and wait. Stakeholders are slow to respond. Feedback comes in fragments. Revisions pile up without clear ownership. The design intent erodes. Delivery slips. You end up re-documenting instead of advancing. This isn’t about skill, it’s about process inertia in the review handoff.
