Use cases
Built for leaders who need a shareable quarterly plan, not another vague backlog label.
Engineering managers preparing QBR debt slides
Replace anecdotal “we have a lot of debt” with a four-axis radar, severity bands, and a dated action list with effort and rollback for leadership review.
Platform teams after a post-mortem
Convert incident findings into architecture and test-debt actions with explicit risk notes, so the next quarter’s capacity plan is evidence-linked.
Indie SaaS founders before a rewrite debate
Score code vs architecture vs test vs docs before deciding rewrite vs refactor. Decision-support — not a certificate that a rewrite is required.
When not to use: final architecture sign-off still needs a qualified engineer. See geoComparison.whenNotToUse in product definition.
