AS-IS Analysis — Universal Current-State Assessment

Generates a 10-section current-state assessment for ANY MetodologIA service type (SDA, QA, Management, RPA, Data-AI, Cloud, SAS, UX-Design). For software codebases (SDA), produces: executive dashboard, technology inventory, code structure, C4 architecture, code quality metrics, technical debt inventory, NFR heatmap, security posture, operational model, and risk register with prioritized recommendations. For other service types, sections S1-S8 adapt to domain-specific dimensions while S0 (Executive Dashboard), S9 (Risk Register), and S10 (Recommendations) remain universal.

Principio Rector

No se puede trazar un camino hacia el futuro sin comprender con honestidad brutal dónde se está parado hoy.

1. Diagnóstico basado en evidencia, no en opinión. Cada hallazgo debe estar respaldado por métricas extraídas del código, configuración o historial operativo. La intuición guía la exploración; la evidencia sustenta la conclusión.
2. El presente contiene las semillas del futuro. Las decisiones arquitectónicas heredadas no son errores — son contexto. Comprender por qué se tomaron revela restricciones que cualquier transformación debe respetar o explícitamente romper.
3. La deuda técnica es deuda de conocimiento. Cada atajo no documentado, cada patrón inconsistente, cada test ausente representa conocimiento que el equipo decidió no capturar. El análisis AS-IS restaura ese conocimiento antes de que se pierda.

Inputs

• $1 — Path to codebase root (default: current working directory)
• $2 — Analysis depth: full (default), executive (sections 0,5,9,10 only)

Parse from $ARGUMENTS.

Parameters:

• {MODO}: piloto-auto (default) | desatendido | supervisado | paso-a-paso
  • piloto-auto: Auto para extracción de métricas y análisis de código, HITL para hallazgos de seguridad y decisiones de escalamiento.

  • When omitted or when a codebase path is provided, defaults to SDA (backward compatible)
  • Determines which variant of sections S1-S8 to generate

Service Type Detection

Before starting analysis, detect the service type from context:

1. If {TIPO_SERVICIO} explicitly provided → use it
2. If codebase path provided → default to SDA
3. If conversation mentions QA/testing/ISTQB → QA
4. If conversation mentions PMO/methodology/delivery → Management
5. If conversation mentions automation/bots/RPA/UiPath → RPA
6. If conversation mentions data/AI/ML/analytics/dashboards → Data-AI
7. If conversation mentions cloud/migration/DevOps/SRE → Cloud
8. If conversation mentions staffing/talent/augmentation → SAS
9. If conversation mentions design/UX/UI/usability → UX-Design

Confirm: "Tipo de servicio detectado: {X}. ¿Confirma o desea ajustar?"

Dynamic Context Injection

SDA Context Injection (when {TIPO_SERVICIO}=SDA)

Auto-detect codebase characteristics before starting analysis:

# Language detection
find . -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.py" -o -name "*.java" -o -name "*.go" -o -name "*.rs" | head -30

# Build system detection
ls -la package.json pom.xml build.gradle Cargo.toml go.mod setup.py pyproject.toml Makefile 2>/dev/null

# Infrastructure detection
find . -name "Dockerfile" -o -name "*.yaml" -path "*/k8s/*" -o -name "docker-compose*" | head -10

# API surface detection
find . -name "*.yaml" -path "*/swagger/*" -o -name "openapi*" -o -name "*.proto" | head -10

Use detected languages, build tools, and infrastructure to scope each section.

Input Requirements

Mandatory (varies by service type):

Recommended (all types):

• Previous assessments or modernization reports
• Stakeholder interviews or survey results
• Operational metrics (last 12-24 months)
• Industry benchmarks for comparison

Assumptions & Limits

Assumptions:

• Codebase is buildable (dependencies resolvable)
• System has operational history (incident/performance data available)
• Documentation in English or Spanish
• No production secrets embedded in source

Cannot do:

• Runtime profiling under production load (requires live monitoring)
• Live load testing or performance tuning
• Team interviews or org structure analysis (requires human interaction)
• Legal compliance review (requires legal expertise)

Workarounds When Inputs Missing

Edge Cases

• Monorepo: Decompose per deployment unit. Analyze coupling between units.
• No CI/CD: Infer from Dockerfiles, cloud configs, README scripts. Flag inference risk.
• No test suite: Flag coverage as CRITICAL (0%). Extrapolate quality risk via complexity. Recommend test buildout.
• Multiple languages: Metrics per language separately. +1 risk per language for integration burden.
• Microservices vs Monolith: Check for multiple deployable units. Analyze per-service if microservices.
• Legacy no docs: Reverse-engineer from code structure + configuration. Flag confidence level.
• System >500K LOC: Phased analysis (Tier 1: core domains, Tier 2: supporting). Deliver executive summary + prioritized deep-dives.
• Vendor lock-in detected: Flag proprietary dependencies with migration cost estimates and open-source alternatives.
• Outdated framework (EOL): Escalate to CRITICAL risk. Document security exposure and upgrade path complexity.

Trade-off Matrix

10-Section Framework

S0: Executive Dashboard

System snapshot: LOC, modules, integrations, team size, years in production, tech stack summary, development status, maintenance cost estimate. Health score (1-10) with color-coded indicators.

S1: Technology Inventory

Per layer: Backend, Frontend, Data, Infrastructure, Development. Dependency tree table with EOL status. Flag deprecated dependencies. Version currency score per component.

S2: Code Organization

Module decomposition, coupling analysis (afferent/efferent), layering assessment, cyclomatic complexity distribution, anti-patterns (god classes, circular dependencies, duplication). Package cohesion metrics.

S3: Architecture (C4 Model)

Level 1 (Context): system as black box with external actors. Level 2 (Containers): major services, databases, data flows. Pattern catalog with quality assessment. Architecture fitness functions where applicable.

S4: Code Quality Metrics

Complexity distribution (p50, p95), duplication %, test coverage by layer, dependency depth, code smells by type. Dashboard with severity-coded cards. Trend analysis if git history available.

S5: Technical Debt Inventory

Per item: description, category (7 types: design, code, test, build, documentation, infrastructure, dependency), severity, technical impact, business impact, remediation pathway, prioritization score (impact x cost-to-fix).

Conditional logic:

• IF debt >30% of codebase OR average CC >15: flag CRITICAL, recommend refactoring before features
• IF test coverage <20%: CRITICAL quality risk
• IF dependency depth >5: recommend modularization
• IF >10 circular dependencies: architectural refactor required

S6: NFR Heatmap

7x5 matrix: performance, security, maintainability, scalability, reliability, usability, interoperability. Scored 1-10 with evidence. Gap analysis against targets. Priority ranking by business impact.

S7: Security Assessment

Authentication, authorization, encryption, data protection, known CVEs (SBOM analysis), compliance gaps. Severity-rated findings with remediation recommendations. OWASP Top 10 mapping where applicable.

S8: Operational Model

Deployment model, monitoring/observability, incident response (MTTR), release management, capacity management. Operational readiness scorecard. DevOps maturity assessment (DORA metrics if available).

S9: Risk Register

Top-10 risks: probability x impact matrix. Per risk: category, score, current mitigations, recommended improvements, owner, status. Risk velocity indicator (growing/stable/shrinking).

S10: Recommendations

Top 5-10 findings with root cause + business impact. Quick wins (under 5 eng-days). Strategic roadmap (immediate/short/medium/long-term). Refactor vs rewrite vs replace decision tree per major component.

Cross-Section Traceability

Every recommendation in S10 must reference evidence from S0-S9:

• S2 Code Structure to S5 Debt (coupling = architectural debt)
• S4 Quality to S5 Debt (low coverage = quality debt)
• S5 Debt to S9 Risks (high debt with uncertain remediation = risk)
• S6 NFR Gaps to S5 Debt (NFR miss = technical work required)
• S7 Security to S9 Risks (CVEs = security risk)
• S8 Ops Gaps to S9 Risks (manual deployment = operational risk)
• S9 Risks to S10 Roadmap (top risks = immediate roadmap items)

Escalation to Human Architect

• Codebase doesn't match business description
• Multiple competing architectural patterns (MVC + microservices mixed)
• Undocumented integration logic requiring team interviews
• Code contradicts comments (conflicting evidence)
• Regulatory compliance ambiguity (PCI, HIPAA, GDPR)
• Rare/uncommon tech stack beyond standard tooling

Execution Workflow

1. Input Validation (30 min): Verify completeness, collect manifests, flag gaps
2. Automated Extraction (2-4 hours): Parse metrics (LOC, complexity, duplication), generate dependency tree, scan vulnerabilities
3. Architectural Analysis (4-6 hours): Map C4 L1/L2, identify patterns, assess coupling
4. Synthesis (4-6 hours): Consolidate into 10 sections, prioritize by business impact, cross-reference validation

Typical engagement: 5-7 days for systems under 500K LOC.
