Engineering Intelligence

ArchScope is a high-performance analysis engine designed to convert complex repository signals into executive-ready architectural narratives. It standardizes how platform teams and senior leadership evaluate technical debt and operational risks.

Core Philosophy

We believe that architecture is not just what is documented, but what is actually implemented in the codebase. ArchScope bridges the gap between intended design and technical reality.

Evidence-Based

Analysis is derived from actual file markers and configuration signatures, not manual tags.

Standardized Metrics

Unified complexity signals that allow comparison across heterogeneous technology stacks.

Stack Detection Heuristics

Our engine performs recursive scanning to identify primary and secondary layers of the technical stack.

Manifest Resolution

Deep validation of lock files to distinguish between transitive and primary dependencies.

Config Signatures

Detection of cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Vercel) through specialized configuration markers.

Architecture Index (Score)

The Complexity Score (0-100) evaluates the cognitive overhead and maintenance difficulty of a project.

0-40

Lean

41-70

Standard

71-100

Complex

Strategic Risk Assessment

We flag high-risk patterns like technology fragmentation and unmaintained infrastructure layers.

Interface (CLI)

The ArchScope CLI allows you to trigger deep architectural scans directly from your terminal or CI/CD pipelines.

// Install global binary

npm install -g @archscope/cli

// Run a tactical scan

$archscope scan facebook/react --output json

Configuration

Customize detection rules by adding an archscope.config.json file to your repository root.
