About the practice
We started because a checkout event died and nobody walked the path
Audit Canvas Base is based in Bukit Mertajam. We review the analytics instrumentation inside mobile products — the events, the SDKs, the timing against consent — and we write findings a product team in Malaysia can act on without hiring us to own their property.
Origin
In 2022 a product team we knew in George Town shipped a checkout redesign on Android. Finance still saw Play charges. The event they read every Monday, checkout_complete, sat at zero for three weeks. The cause was a fragment that no longer opened. Nobody had installed the release candidate with logging on. The weekly chart had been treated as a demand problem.
Audit Canvas Base exists so that walk is someone’s job, not a favour squeezed between sprints. The name is literal: a canvas is the working surface on which we mark what fired and what did not. It is not a painting studio, and it is not a piece of software.
How we work
We take read-only access and a build. We do not ask for admin on the analytics property. We do not install extra libraries on your users. Findings are written as screens, event names, and payload excerpts. The readout call is for deciding the next version, after the evidence is already on the page.
Most engagements are remote, with teams in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Singapore, and further. When the product and engineering leads can sit in one room, we will come to Penang Island or host a working day at our address in Taman Bayu Mutiara.
People who do the walking
-
Lim Wei Shan
Reviewer, iOS-heavy products
Wei Shan spent six years sitting with a Kuala Lumpur e-commerce app’s weekly numbers before she left to review other people’s instrumentation full time. She still prefers a TestFlight and a paper journey over a slide.
-
Arjun Menon
Reviewer, Android and billing paths
Arjun came from an Android team that owned Play Billing events. He is the person who will rotate a device mid-checkout because he has seen confirmation sheets double-fire on Android 14.

Nur Aisyah binti Rahman
Measurement plans and product interviews
Aisyah facilitates the half-day sessions. She used to be the person in the room who asked what the Monday email was actually for, and she still stops teams from naming forty events for a first version.
What we will not claim
We do not certify apps. We do not sell a ranked score. We do not keep a copy of your event stream after the engagement ends, beyond the excerpts in the report you already have. If a finding is a guess, we label it as a guess.
If you want someone to implement tracking for you week after week, say so in the brief. That is a different shape of work than a review, and we will tell you whether we can take it.
