Forensic Analysis for Modern Codebases

Inspired by Adam Tornhill's "Your Code as a Crime Scene" methodology

Hotspot Detection

Identify files that are both complex and frequently changed. These hotspots are statistically more likely to contain bugs and require immediate attention.

Knowledge Silos

Discover files owned primarily by one developer. Reduce team risk by identifying knowledge bottlenecks.

Temporal Coupling

Find hidden dependencies between files that consistently change together.

Blast Radius Analysis

Assess the potential impact of changing specific files. Make informed decisions about refactoring and understand ripple effects.

Flexible Output

Export results in CSV, JSON, or view directly in terminal.

Lightning Fast

Analyze thousands of commits in minutes. Efficient algorithms ensure you get insights quickly, even for large enterprise repositories.
