Accelerated System Documentation
What this is
We document architecture, data models and business logic, validated by your specialists.
Key-person systems
Systems with unique behaviours or workarounds understood by a small or shrinking group. Nothing is written down, and those people will not be here forever.
proprietary legacy systems
An unknown quantity of proprietary systems that have been critical to your business for many years but have no documentation.
Shadow IT
Low-code apps, built outside formal process, now running something critical with no owner, no maintainer and no documentation.
Discover and prioritise
We map your undocumented legacy, low-code, and custom systems. Then we rank them by risk through determining which would be most disruptive if the few people who understand them leave, or if an auditor asks for documentation.
Analyse and draft
Our team processes the code and drafts the architecture, the data models and the business rules. Your specialists correct a draft instead of starting a blank page. That is the whole difference: correcting takes hours, and starting from nothing is why it never got done.
Prove accuracy and value
We work with your specialists to evaluate documentation accuracy, fine-tune the details and estimate how much time it has saved for your team.
Integrate and scale
The documentation is published into your wiki, CMDB or governance tooling, so it is available where people already work. Then we explore the next system.
Live documentation synced with the code
Most documentation is written once, by hand. As systems grow in complexity, nobody maintains the documentation causing a spiral of increasing inaccuracy and teams trusting it less.
Documentation drafted from the code can be automated. When the code changes, our process re-runs the analysis and produces a diff: what changed, where, and which user experiences are affected.
Maintaining documentation becomes approving updates rather than rewriting pages manually.
What we have measured so far
Early pilots have shown promising results for a wide range of systems and applications.
66% faster
Legacy modules documented with our methodology vs. written manually by your subject-matter experts.
85–95% accurate
Subject-matter expert validation of the first draft with the remaining accuracy covered by manual review.
2–4 weeks per system
A pilot system can go from discovery to published pages in 2-4 weeks and can seamlessly integrate into an existing roadmap.
