Module deepening in .NET involves refactoring shallow modules to hide complex implementation details behind simpler interfaces. This architectural improvement increases code leverage and makes the overall system significantly easier to maintain and audit.

To refactor a .NET codebase, you analyze the code structure and module dependencies to identify tightly coupled shallow modules. You then consolidate functionality and refine interfaces to create deep modules, effectively decoupling the architecture for better modularity.

During a .NET architecture review, dependencies are classified by analyzing code structure and component interactions. The review then proposes targeted architectural refactoring solutions to manage different dependency types and reduce tight coupling across modules.

Yes, you can apply architectural refactoring to an existing complex .NET project. By running an architecture analysis within your codebase directory, the tool surfaces shallow modules and suggests actionable refactors to improve modularity without requiring external dependencies.

The best way to prepare a .NET project for an architecture audit is to ensure the codebase is accessible within its directory for structural analysis. This allows the tool to accurately identify shallow modules, classify dependencies, and propose deepening refactors.
