complexity-assessment

Complexity assessment analyzes your codebase to reveal architectural structure, identify patterns, and compute a complexity score that guides how deep your architecture documentation and ADRs need to be. Scan your project to surface technology stack, quality dimensions, and production readiness, then use the score to tailor documentation effort.

Use complexity assessment when inheriting, modernizing, or consolidating legacy systems and multi-repo monorepos. It discovers codebase structure, recognizes existing architectural patterns, and surfaces quality gaps across eight dimensions, so you know what architectural decisions need documenting before refactoring.

The complexity score indicates how many Architecture Decision Records you need and how thoroughly you should document architectural depth. Higher complexity projects benefit from more detailed ADRs; lower complexity may need fewer. The score directly guides your documentation strategy.

Yes. The assessment computes a production readiness score across defined quality dimensions alongside the complexity score. It surfaces which dimensions need attention before deploying, helping you prioritize architectural improvements for production stability.

You receive a comprehensive report containing the codebase structure, identified architectural patterns, technology stack with versions, eight quality dimension scores, an overall complexity score, a production readiness score, and actionable recommendations for architecture depth and documentation.

Yes. Complexity assessment is designed for multi-repo monorepos and brownfield projects. It analyzes the overall structure across repositories, recognizes cross-repo patterns, and computes unified complexity and readiness scores for the entire system.
