Understand

Make complex systems comprehensible

Architecture maps, dependency analysis, technical assessments, and developer onboarding — automated reports that turn weeks of discovery into hours.

Intelligence Reports

Five report types. One complete picture.

Every report is generated from deep analysis of your actual codebase — not templates, not guesses. Evidence-backed intelligence with traceability to source.

System Overview

A comprehensive architectural map of your codebase that reveals how all components connect and interact.

Engineering leadersArchitectsNew team leadsDue diligence teams

What's included

  • Architecture Diagram — visual representation of major components
  • Module Inventory — complete listing of packages and responsibilities
  • Dependency Map — internal and external dependency analysis
  • Data Flow Overview — how data moves through the system
  • Integration Points — external APIs, databases, third-party services
  • Technology Stack Summary — languages, frameworks, infrastructure

The OrderService module has 47 inbound dependencies, making it a critical path component that requires careful change management.

Technical Assessment

A health check of your codebase that identifies technical debt, security vulnerabilities, and quality issues with prioritized remediation paths.

Engineering managersCTOsSecurity teamsInvestors

What's included

  • Code Quality Score — health rating by module and metric
  • Technical Debt Inventory — issues ranked by severity and effort
  • Security Vulnerability Scan — CVEs, insecure patterns, exposed secrets
  • Dependency Health — outdated packages, license risks
  • Performance Hotspots — complexity and efficiency concerns
  • Remediation Roadmap — prioritized action plan with effort estimates

Technical debt is concentrated in 3 modules that account for 67% of all bug fixes over the past year.

User Journeys

Map critical user flows to their underlying code paths — connecting product experiences to technical implementation.

Product managersEngineers debugging issuesQA teams

What's included

  • Journey Catalog — identified user flows with descriptions
  • Flow Visualizations — steps from user action to system response
  • Code Path Mapping — files, functions, and services each journey touches
  • Critical Path Analysis — single points of failure
  • Error Scenarios — what can go wrong and how the system handles it

The checkout flow touches 14 services and 3 external APIs; failure in the InventoryService causes silent cart abandonment.

Developer Onboarding

A structured learning path that transforms new hires into productive contributors by guiding them through the codebase systematically.

New engineersEngineering managersHR/People teams

What's included

  • Getting Started Guide — environment setup and first build
  • Codebase Tour — guided walkthrough of key directories
  • Core Concepts Glossary — domain terms and naming conventions
  • Key Workflows — step-by-step common development tasks
  • Architecture Primer — simplified system overview for newcomers
  • Starter Tasks — guided walkthrough of initial tickets

The src/core/ directory contains the domain logic — start here to understand business rules before exploring API layers.

Best Practices

Analysis of your codebase against industry standards and internal conventions — highlighting where practices excel and where they diverge.

Tech leadsSenior engineersPlatform teams

What's included

  • Pattern Inventory — recurring patterns across the codebase
  • Consistency Analysis — where multiple approaches solve the same problem
  • Framework Usage Review — alignment with recommended practices
  • Anti-Pattern Detection — common mistakes and problematic patterns
  • Recommended Standards — suggested conventions based on analysis
  • Refactoring Opportunities — where standardization helps most

Error handling uses 4 different patterns — try-catch (42%), Result types (31%), callbacks (18%), silent failures (9%). Recommend consolidating on Result types.
