The road ahead

What we shipped this month, and where Predict · Prevent · Prove goes from here.

Onboarding your team: orgs, workspaces, and roles

Get your whole team into one workspace so the cross-repo features light up — a two-minute setup.

Security that travels with your dependencies

Deep code scanning is table stakes. We also read your lockfiles for known CVEs and flag license risk.

Make Impact a weekly team ritual

Dashboards you have to visit get ignored. Here's how to bake Impact into the rhythm of the week.

The Change Conductor: coordinating a safe cross-repo refactor

Impact doesn't just find the risk in a cross-repo change — it sequences the whole thing.

From findings to fixes: the self-healing PR flow

Impact doesn't just find issues — it drafts the fix, verifies it, and opens the PR.

A field guide to the seven intelligence pillars

What each of the seven pillars measures, and what a low score in each one is trying to tell you.

Wiring Impact into Claude Code and Cursor with MCP

The coding agents are the new IDE. Give yours Impact's cross-repo intelligence with one config block.

Risk-next hotspots and how to act on them

A per-file 0-100 score predicting where the next defect lands — and what to do about the top of the list.

The Project Wiki: documentation that writes itself

An auto-generated handbook for any codebase — modules, dependency graph, and AI-written explanations of what the code does.

Impact vs. SonarQube, CodeRabbit, and Codacy

They grade the code as it is. We predict where it breaks next — across repos — and prove we caught it.

The Outcome Ledger: proving prevention in dollars

The 'Prove' phase — a running record of what Impact predicted and what it prevented, with estimated cost avoided.

Quality gates that actually hold the line

A gate you can argue with isn't a gate. Here's how to configure ones that stick.

Overall score vs. Code Quality score: what's the difference?

Impact shows two headline numbers on purpose. Here's why, and which one to trust.

Health Forecast: where your system will hurt next

Six signals, fused per file, to answer the question a snapshot can't: what's about to become a problem?

Getting the most out of your first scan

A five-minute guide to turning your first Impact analysis into an action plan.

Contract Drift: catch the breaking API change in the PR

Change the shape of an API and Impact flags every stale caller, in every repo, ranked by how many callers break.

Cross-repo blast radius: the thing single-repo tools can't do

Change one endpoint and see exactly which other services break — with every call site listed.

Introducing the Living System Map

Every service, every API call between your repos, drawn as one navigable graph — and redrawn on every analysis.

What Is Blast Radius in Software Development?

Predict, Prevent, Prove: why we refocused Impact

Grading code is a commodity now — the agents do it for free. So we refocused Impact on the one loop nobody else closes.

What code churn actually tells you about bug risk

Files that change constantly are where bugs live. Here's why churn is one of the most predictive — and most ignored — signals in your codebase.

Designing a quality gate your team won't route around

A gate that blocks every merge gets disabled by Friday. Here's how to set thresholds that actually stick.

Reading a dependency graph: finding the modules that will hurt you

A dependency graph isn't just a pretty picture. Here's how to read one to find the parts of your architecture most likely to cause pain.

How we score maintainability (SQALE, explained)

An A–F grade is only useful if you trust how it's calculated. Here's the methodology behind the maintainability score.

Why we built Impact Code Analysis

Good code intelligence existed — it was just fragmented across five tools and priced for enterprises. So we built one platform that does all of it.

Self-hosting code analysis without the headache

For teams that can't send source code to a SaaS, self-hosting shouldn't mean a week of DevOps. Here's how we made it turnkey.
