Why change
Complex software fails where nobody is looking
System-level flaws hide in the relationships between code, databases and applications. Most tools only see the surface.
The old way
- ×Technical debt accumulates silently because nobody can see which code actually causes production issues
- ×Cloud migrations stall on unknown blockers buried across technologies and repositories
- ×Open source components carry security and license risks that surface only after deployment
- ×AI coding agents make changes without understanding cross-application dependencies, causing unintended downstream impacts
The CAST way
- +Semantic analysis of the actual source code produces verified facts about objects, dependencies, transactions and data flows
- +Structural integrity gates apply ISO 5055 rules to catch system-level flaws before changes reach production
- +Portfolio dashboards grade technical debt, cloud maturity, OSS risk and AI readiness with empirical evidence
- +AI agents receive deterministic architectural context through a secure MCP interface, reducing blind spots and rework
What it does
Intelligence you can act on with confidence
Every insight comes from analysis of your real code, not probabilistic inference.

How it works
From source code to verified intelligence
Start fast and see the difference within weeks.
Connect your repositories
CAST plugs directly into GitHub, BitBucket and Azure DevOps to analyze source code and open source components.
Deterministic analysis runs
Semantic analysis maps internal structures, cross-application relationships, transactions and data flows across 450+ technologies, like an MRI for software.
Dashboards and maps appear
Results aggregate into dashboards, architectural graphs and call graphs that executives, technologists and AI agents can all navigate.
Act with confidence
Prioritize technical debt, clear cloud blockers, gate changes against ISO 5055 and give AI agents the context to transform code safely.

Good to know
Questions, answered
What is AI + CAST?+
AI + CAST combines AI coding agents with deterministic software intelligence. CAST maps the architecture, dependencies, data access, call paths and structural risks inside an application, then provides that context to AI agents so they can understand and transform complex software more accurately, efficiently and safely.
Why can't an AI coding agent understand the application on its own?+
AI coding agents are very effective at generating code, but they can struggle to understand large, complex applications from source files alone. Important relationships may span multiple technologies, databases, repositories and applications. CAST gives the agent a factual map of these relationships, reducing blind spots, incorrect assumptions and unintended downstream impacts.
What does deterministic software intelligence mean?+
It means the information is derived through semantic analysis of the actual software rather than inferred or generated probabilistically by an LLM. CAST identifies the application's real objects, dependencies, transactions, data flows and architectural relationships, so the AI agent can ground its work in verified facts.
What kinds of software intelligence does CAST provide to AI agents?+
Application inventories and statistics, internal architectural graphs, cross-application dependencies, transactions, data-access paths, call graphs, object details, source-code locations, and direct and indirect dependencies. This gives the agent both a high-level understanding of the system and the detailed context needed for specific changes.
What development and modernization use cases can AI + CAST support?+
Understanding unfamiliar applications, extracting business rules, change-impact analysis, generating documentation and tests, remediating technical debt, removing cloud blockers, identifying microservice candidates, replacing frameworks or databases, and transforming legacy applications. The common thread is giving AI the context to make complex changes with less rework and risk.
Does CAST replace our existing AI coding tools or agents?+
No. CAST complements the AI tools your organization has already selected. It supplies deterministic application context to MCP-compatible agents and development tools, improving your existing AI-enabled workflows without introducing another tool to replace.
