How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

  • Technical debt accumulated over a decade, making minor feature additions risky and time consuming for engineering teams.
  • Developers feared modifying legacy modules due to tight coupling, undocumented side effects, and lack of test coverage.
  • Refactoring proposals were routinely rejected by management because manual code modernization was estimated to take 18 months and $3M.
