Axiom Refract Is Now Available — The Architectural Record Your Codebase Has Never Had

PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT

Today, Cerebrum Cadre — a division of CSI, Inc. — launches Axiom Refract, a new platform that solves a problem most engineering teams don't budget for until it costs them.

Every codebase grows a shadow. The architecture diagram nobody updates. The dependencies that are "probably fine." The compliance posture that's a best guess. The engineer who is the only one who knows how the authentication service actually works.

When that engineer leaves — or when a firm acquires the company, or when AI agents start contributing code at volume — the tribal knowledge holding the architecture together disappears. The codebase keeps running. The understanding of it does not.

Axiom Refract produces the record that was never written.

What It Does

Axiom Refract analyzes any codebase and delivers a complete architectural record: dependency maps, call graphs, single points of failure, blast radius calculations, dead code, compliance posture, and C4 architecture diagrams — automatically extracted, programmatically verified, and delivered simultaneously in formats every stakeholder can use.

• For your engineers: Markdown and DOCX reports with narrative context and remediation guidance
• For your toolchain: JSON output and a native MCP server your CI/CD pipelines and AI coding tools can query directly
• For your auditors: Evidence-backed compliance mapping across nine frameworks — SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST SSDF, GDPR, CCPA, and more
• For whatever comes after all three: A universal architectural record that stays stable regardless of what reads it

The analysis runs across 145+ programming languages and includes infrastructure files — Dockerfiles, Kubernetes manifests, Terraform configs, and CI/CD definitions — not just application code.

Who It's For

Axiom Refract was built for teams that encounter the knowledge persistence problem at the worst possible moment:

• PE firms and M&A teams that need verified technical due diligence before a deal closes, not two weeks and a six-figure consultant fee after
• Engineering leaders who need to present tech debt as a risk score and budget line, not a feeling
• Compliance teams that need documented evidence for SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS — not self-assessments
• DevOps teams that want to catch architectural drift at pull request time, not in a postmortem
• Teams adopting AI coding tools that need to ensure autonomous agents are working from verified architecture, not hallucinated inference

AI-Native from Day One

Axiom Refract ships with a native MCP (Model Context Protocol) server — one of the first architectural governance tools built with AI agent connectivity at its core. Teams using Claude, GitHub Copilot, or any MCP-compatible AI tool can connect their agents directly to the architectural record. The agent asks a question about the codebase. Axiom Refract answers it from the source of truth.

All AI processing uses only PII-redacted structural representations. No raw source code, function bodies, or proprietary logic is ever sent to an AI model. And no customer code is ever used to train AI systems — stated explicitly in three separate legal documents.

SKU 1. The First of More.

Axiom Refract is the first commercial product from Cerebrum Cadre — a division of CSI, Inc. currently in active formation as an independent corporation, targeting a mid-2026 spin-off. It is SKU 1 in a planned product line built around a single thesis: that architectural knowledge should be a governed, persistent, verifiable record — not tribal wisdom held by whoever hasn't quit yet.

Founder Program — 250 Seats, Lifetime Pricing

Axiom Refract launches with a Founder Program: 250 lifetime price-lock seats at 50% off standard rates, available on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no waitlist. When the seats are filled, new subscribers pay standard pricing.

Founder pricing starts at $275/month for the Starter tier (standard: $550/month) and scales to $2,500/month for Business (standard: $5,000/month). Pay-per-scan options start at $75/scan. A free tier is available with no credit card required.
