One codebase. Five modules. Complete architectural visibility.
Axiom Refract runs your code through a multi-stage analysis pipeline. Each module has one job. Together, they produce a complete architectural record.
The Pipeline
Ingest
Point Axiom Refract at a repository. It identifies languages, maps the file tree, and prepares the codebase for analysis. Supports 145+ languages (103 hand-hardened) through Tree-sitter AST parsing with intelligent regex fallbacks.
Analyze (NB-Core)
The core engine extracts structure: call graphs, dependency relationships, transitive closures, centrality scoring, and blast radius calculations. It identifies single points of failure, dead code, and architectural risk — programmatically, not by opinion.
Untangle (NB-Untangler)
Complex dependency chains get decomposed. Circular dependencies, tightly coupled modules, and hidden structural debt surface automatically. You see what's tangled and exactly how deep it goes.
Document (NB-Secretary + NB-Cartographer)
Findings are compiled into structured reports — JSON for machines, Markdown and DOCX for humans. NB-Cartographer generates C4 architecture diagrams (context, container, component, code level) so your team can see the system, not just read about it.
Deliver (NB-Assembler)
Everything is packaged into a single deliverable: reports, diagrams, compliance mappings, risk assessments, and remediation guidance. Triple-format output means every stakeholder gets the format they need from the same analysis run.
In a single run, you get the same architectural truth your team would take weeks to assemble manually.
What you get
For Engineering Teams
Architecture diagrams, dependency maps, dead code reports, SPOF identification, and remediation priorities — all generated from the actual code, not from memory or assumptions.
For Compliance & Audit
Automated mapping against 9 compliance frameworks (SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST, and more). Evidence-backed findings, not checkbox theater.
For AI Toolchains
Machine-readable JSON output and native MCP integration. Your AI agents can query architectural data directly — no middleware, no translation layer.
For Acquirers & Investors
A complete technical due diligence package generated in hours, not weeks. Know exactly what you're buying before the deal closes.
