Could you build this?
Partial Displaying software metrics in a dashboard is straightforward, but creating deterministic, accurate architecture health scores across diverse codebases without an LLM requires complex static analysis and AST traversal.
What it would actually take: Requires language-specific parsers or Tree-sitter grammars to generate ASTs and dependency call graphs across multiple programming languages. The system calculates software metrics like cyclomatic complexity, afferent/efferent coupling, and dependency cycles via graph algorithms. Deep expertise in static code analysis, compiler tooling, and software engineering metrics is necessary.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a analytics & bi tool for Legal yet.
