SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Technical debt is the compounding drag on delivery, architecture, and maintainability when not managed, leading to slower feature work and higher risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated discovery and assessment of debt types (architectural, code quality, test debt) to surface where effort is needed.
  • ROI-based prioritization and paydown planning with phased, actionable steps that align with product cadence.
  • Debt governance artifacts (tech debt register, paydown plans) to guide sprint goals and long-term health.

Quick Start

Run a structured debt assessment and generate an ROI-based paydown plan.
