The problem
Small teams often ship with false confidence.
CI is green, but nobody knows what it actually protects.
Tests pass but coverage is unclear. Smoke tests are missing. The team assumes safety that does not exist.
PR reviews happen, but risk is not scored consistently.
Some PRs get thorough review, others slip through. No structured risk assessment before merge.
Release checklist lives in someone's head.
Critical steps are tribal knowledge. When the primary person is away, releases stall or skip checks.
Smoke tests are missing or inconsistent.
No automated safety net after deploy. Issues are found by users instead of automated checks.
Rollback ownership is unclear.
When a release fails, nobody knows who decides to roll back or how to execute it safely.
GO / NO-GO decision is based on feeling.
Releases ship because it seems fine rather than documented criteria everyone agrees on.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do you need repository access?
No. I review based on what you share: PR process description, CI config screenshots, release checklist samples, and any test coverage info you can provide. No code access required.
What if we do not have automated tests?
That is exactly what the audit identifies as risk. You will get specific recommendations on what smoke tests to add first, ranked by impact on your release safety.
Is this the same as Dulvarn SaaS?
No. This is a one-time manual audit. Dulvarn Release Control (SaaS) is the automation platform that implements these recommendations. Many teams start with the audit, then migrate to the SaaS.
Do you implement fixes?
The audit delivers a report and action plan. Implementation is your team's work or a separate engagement. The Release Risk + Automation Starter includes one basic automation example to get you started.
How fast do we get the report?
Quick Audit: 48 hours. Full Sprint: 72 hours. Automation Starter: 5 days after receiving all context.
What happens after the audit?
You get a written report with GO / CONDITIONAL GO / NO-GO summary, 7-day action plan, and optional next steps. I am available for follow-up questions via email for 7 days.
Can this help before a launch?
Yes. This is designed for teams preparing for beta, public launch, or major release. The audit finds gaps before users do.
Can we start without a call?
Yes. Book via email and send your context async. All delivery is written. The optional review call is only for Full Sprint and Automation Starter tiers.
Founder note
Dulvarn is an independent project focused on release risk, QA workflows and practical automation tools for small software teams. This audit is the practical first step: I review your current release process, find the biggest risks, and give you a clear action plan before you scale the chaos.
