Can a tuner "read" a tune to see if it's good?

Can a tuner "read" a tune to see if it's good?
So, hypothetically, someone has a SOS/Comptech SC kit with an AEM V2 ECU and gets it dyno tuned.
Everything seems fine, but the owner realizes now the dyno tuner doesn't have a ton of experience.
Is it possible to send the AEM ECU file to an experienced SC tuner and have them "read" it to see if they feel it's done well? Or, at least doesn't have anything obviously wrong with it?
Thanks everyone?

Ok guys, the links to the files are below. Thanks to anyone who can look at these for me! Primarily interested in 1. if any areas of concern in general, like fuel of timing.
2. what is my peak boost and is it comparable to an external boost gauge?
3. Exactly when (rpm) is VTEC engaging? Throttle and RPM are set where you would expect, but how about engine load, do the settings mean it won't come on till boost hit 7.3psi? AEM Tuner, when viewed live by me in these runs seems to say about 6000rpm, but the tuner keeps saying "no, should be about 4500rpm."

Its only possible to get a round about idea if the tuner knew what he was doing or not. There are ranges of known good timing numbers for X fuel and X boost but no one will know the exact amount of timing just by looking at it.

This.
If they even sync'd the ECU. A lot of times they will trust the base cal AEM supplies and won't even check sync. Could end up with some odd timing maps, lol

Its a Supercharger, so it should be a pretty linear timing curve relative to the boost climb, and resemble OEM in vacuum/partial throttle. Its one of the easier set ups to tune for. We will need to see the afr to know if its in the safe to more optimum range and then knowing what your peak boost/pulley is would be helpful.
