Careful with social proofs. Normalizing deviance and groupthink are real phenomena.

Anyway, for any big enough system or module reviews are relatively weak form of attestation. They mostly work as a sanity check and to ensure base level of cleanliness and design.

Better attestation is an automated functional test, best a full proof.
