PRISM is Mati Systems' framework for measuring production readiness across five dimensions: Production, Reliability, Integrity, Simplicity, and Maintainability.
Production: can it deploy and roll back safely? Are secrets, environment configuration, and backups handled correctly, not just working by accident on one machine?
Reliability: does it fail gracefully? Are there real failure paths for payments, webhooks, and third-party calls, or only a happy path that was ever tested?
Integrity: is auth correct everywhere it needs to be? Is business logic consistent across every place it was implemented, not just where it was first written?
Simplicity: is the codebase simple enough to change safely? Duplicated logic and oversized files raise the cost and risk of every future change.
Maintainability: would the next engineer, who never saw the original prompts, be able to understand this and safely extend it?
Every Mati Systems audit scores a codebase against these five dimensions, each translated into the specific failure patterns of whatever tool built the app in question, rather than treated as abstract categories.
It's a scoring framework, not a certification. Every Mati Systems audit produces a PRISM score and a prioritized risk list. There's no pass/fail badge, just an honest picture of where the codebase stands.
The five questions are simple to ask. Answering them accurately on your own codebase is the hard part. That's what an outside, senior review is for.
