The Methodology Behind Every Engagement

AI-Accelerated
Code Intelligence™

Most shops claim to use AI. Few can show you what their AI-assisted workflow actually looks like, end to end, on a real codebase.

Code Intelligence™ is the repeatable methodology behind every WAM DevTech engagement. Five to seven days. Senior architect-led. Available as a $995 standalone product for greenfield projects, or free as part of any active engagement on existing code.

The Three Pillars

What makes WAM DevTech Code Intelligence™ different from traditional assessments and automated tools.

Context-First

AI without context produces noise. We front-load business understanding so every finding matters to your situation. Your constraints. Your goals. Your reality.

AI-Accelerated

Entire codebase analyzed in hours. Dependencies mapped across thousands of files. Pattern recognition at scale. What took weeks now takes days.

Architect-Led

30 years of enterprise systems experience guiding every insight. Not AI alone. Not junior consultants. Expertise that knows what questions to ask.

The 5-Phase Framework

A structured methodology that delivers comprehensive code intelligence in 5-7 days.

Day 1

Context

Business requirements, pain points, constraints, tribal knowledge. The foundation that makes everything else relevant.

OUTPUT
Context Document
Business requirements, constraints, tribal knowledge captured

Days 2-3

Intelligence

AI-accelerated codebase scan, dependency mapping, pattern recognition, tech debt identification. This is where AI shines.

OUTPUT
Code Intelligence Report
Dependencies, patterns, tech debt, complexity analysis

Documentation

Existing docs audit, gap analysis, knowledge capture. What exists, what's missing, what only certain people know.

OUTPUT
Documentation Assessment
Gap analysis, prioritized documentation needs

Architecture

Maintainability, scalability, security, risk scoring. Senior architect evaluation of current state and future viability.

Roadmap

Prioritized recommendations, effort estimates, quick wins. Actionable strategy you can execute, not a report that sits on a shelf.

Strategic Roadmap
Prioritized recommendations with realistic effort estimates

What Code Intelligence Reveals

Not just what exists, but what it means for your business.

Dependency Mapping

What talks to what. Internal services, external integrations, database connections. The full picture.

Tech Debt Inventory

Security vulnerabilities, deprecated dependencies, performance bottlenecks. Prioritized by impact.

Pattern Analysis

Coding standards, repeated patterns, inconsistencies, complexity hotspots. Where the dragons live.

Risk Assessment

Single points of failure, bus factor, critical dependencies. What keeps you up at night.

Modernization Readiness

What can be modernized incrementally vs. requires rebuild. The honest assessment.

Documentation Gaps

What's documented, what's tribal knowledge, what's missing entirely. The knowledge risk.

Why "Intelligence" - Not Just Assessment

An assessment lists what exists. Intelligence understands what it means.

Traditional assessments produce reports full of findings with no prioritization, no business context, and no clear path forward. They tell you "you have tech debt" without telling you which debt matters.

Code Intelligence delivers understanding. Context-specific insights. Clear priorities. A foundation for decisions, not just a snapshot in time.

ASSESSMENT

"You have 247 deprecated dependencies"

INTELLIGENCE

"3 of these create security risk. Here's the priority order."

ASSESSMENT

"Code complexity is high in module X"

INTELLIGENCE

"Module X is your onboarding bottleneck. Here's how to fix it."

Case Study

Proof Point: The 2-Week Sprint

This methodology powered a real-world modernization project.

  • ColdFusion REST API → Go: Code intelligence revealed the patterns, AI accelerated the conversion
  • Deployed to AWS Fargate: Architecture review informed infrastructure decisions
  • Production-ready in days: What would have taken 2-3 weeks with traditional approach

The intelligence phase made everything else faster. Context first. AI-accelerated. Architect-led.

The Standalone Product

Code Intelligence™ Assessment — $995

A focused deliverable that answers the three questions every greenfield project needs answered before code is written: what are we building, what are we building it with, and how will we get there.

Greenfield Engagements

Custom Build · CMS Modernization · Site Renovation
$995

Fixed price. Yours to keep regardless of who you hire.

The deliverable is a real document the buyer owns. If WAM DevTech is the right fit, the $995 credits 100% toward the engagement within 90 days. If you choose a different vendor, the document is yours to bring to them.

Pay for the assessment. Apply it to the build. Or take it and go.

Brownfield Engagements

AI-Accelerated Development
Free

No cost. No obligation.

For active engagement work on existing codebases, the assessment is free. We have to do this work to commit to a fixed scope and timeline honestly. Charging for it would be charging you for our own due diligence.

What the Document Contains

Three deliverables that move a project from "we have an idea" to "we know what to build, what to build it with, and how to get there." Detailed enough to be valuable. Strategic enough that the implementation work is still where the real engineering happens.

01
Product Definition

Translates the abstract idea into a defined product. What the system actually does, who uses it, what the boundaries are, and what success looks like. The "what are we building" question, answered concretely.

02
Tech Stack Decision

The recommended technology stack with rationale. What languages, frameworks, and infrastructure fit the work, and a high-level view of how those pieces fit together. Strategic technology direction, not implementation playbook.

03
Roadmap

High-level overview of the timeline and phases of the build. What gets delivered when, what dependencies sit between phases, and where the meaningful milestones land.

Multiple applications? Each assessment covers one product. We can run parallel assessments for multi-application initiatives — contact us to discuss.
