What it measures

Where aging systems quietly cost you.

Ten scored questions turn a broad modernization problem into a concrete, shared view of risk across the business. Here are the areas they weigh.

Delivery Velocity

Release new capabilities faster. We measure how long a change takes to reach production and how often you release to users.

Integration Complexity

Connect your systems with less friction. We measure how many systems tie into your core app and how often a change in one breaks another.

Security & Compliance Risk

Walk into your next audit with confidence. We measure how much of your core software still gets vendor security updates and how ready you are to pass an audit.

Performance & Maintainability

Stay ahead of outages and end-of-support dates. We measure how often slowdowns or outages impact operations, and how much of your tech stack may lose vendor support within the next 24 months.

AI & Automation Readiness

Get ready for AI and automation. We measure how prepared your data is and how much your legacy systems hold back the initiatives you have in mind.
