System Comprehension Ledger
A lightweight SaaS that continuously maps how a codebase fits together (services/modules, dependencies, owners, decision records) and turns that into a measurable "comprehension score" with concrete remediation tasks. It focuses on preserving and operationalizing human system intent via structured architecture notes, decision logs, and change-impact workflows tied to real code changes.

System Comprehension Ledger
A lightweight SaaS that continuously maps how a codebase fits together (services/modules, dependencies, owners, decision records) and turns that into a measurable "comprehension score" with concrete remediation tasks. It focuses on preserving and operationalizing human system intent via structured architecture notes, decision logs, and change-impact workflows tied to real code changes.
Target customer
Mid-market software companies (50-500 engineers) and platform teams maintaining multi-year codebases with frequent turnover and ongoing refactors.
Problem-solution fit
When layoffs, turnover, or rapid development create knowledge gaps, teams lose the ability to safely change the system. This product makes comprehension measurable, assigns ownership, and embeds low-friction documentation/decision capture into PR workflows so understanding compounds instead of decaying.
