Product overview: illustrative concept screen

01 / Overview

A concept for teams inheriting poorly documented repositories. It indexes modules, summarizes business logic, highlights risky files, and proposes a phased migration roadmap that engineers review before acting.

02 / Challenge

Old codebases hide business rules in code nobody owns. Migration plans made without a dependency map and risk ranking tend to underestimate effort.

  • /Business logic is undocumented.
  • /Dependencies between modules are unclear.
  • /Migration scope is hard to estimate.

03 / Proposed capabilities

  • 01Index a repository and build a module dependency map
  • 02Summarize business logic per module with file references
  • 03Score files by change risk and test coverage
  • 04Generate a phased migration roadmap
  • 05Export findings for engineering review
