CodeNSM
[ LIVE DEMO / QUARTERLY REVIEW ]

Quarterly review

The first-order rows of the 30-question review, answered live from the CodeNSM codebase's own instrumented data — one card per question, graded on track / watch / at risk. Every value is computed on this page load from the same models every other tab reads (no separate report to keep in sync). In the public demo, author names are hidden, department names generalised and internal code references stripped — the numbers are the real production distribution.

? How to read this office roles & states, in plain English
Roles — what kind of worker each function is
Project ManagerRoutes work to the right people — controllers, views, dispatchers.
Specialist EngineerDoes the actual skilled work — computation, scoring, business rules.
Records Clerk (reads)Fetches files from the cabinets — reads from the database.
Records Clerk (writes)Files paperwork into the cabinets — writes to the database.
Security & ComplianceChecks credentials and paperwork — auth, validation, permissions.
External LiaisonTalks to the outside world — third-party APIs, webhooks, HTTP.
Comms RunnerCarries messages out — email, Slack, notifications, publishing.
TranslatorTurns one language into another — serialization, parsing, formatting.
Floor SupervisorWatches the floor — health checks, status, metrics, monitoring.
FacilitiesKeeps the office clean — cleanup, expiry, retries, flushing, logging.
AssociateVersatile hands — no dominant role signal yet.

How to read this page: each card is one question a quarterly review should answer, computed live from this codebase's own data. The big number is the value; the coloured tag is the reading — on track, watch, or at risk — and the line under it is what it means. Start with the red.

Business 4 questions

Value concentration at risk
100.0 %

Top 31 of 311 functions (the top decile by contribution) carry 100.0% of the project's total value-weighted contribution.

What share of value does the top decile carry, and how many functions is that?
Top value on shaky ground on track
0.0 %

0 of the 31 top-decile-value functions are currently fragile or overloaded — 0.0% of that top-decile value sits on unstable ground.

How much of that top-decile value is sitting on fragile/overloaded functions?
Spend on dead weight at risk
5377 churn lines

5377 added+deleted lines of churn sit in 92 'expensive dead weight' functions (high build cost, low runtime value) — money leaking into code that doesn't pay back.

How much engineering spend is going into code that doesn't pay back (expensive dead weight)?
Defendable IP share on track
52.3 %

34 unique-IP functions vs 31 vanilla-integration (third-party glue) functions — 52.3% of that pair is defendable, unique engineering.

What share of the codebase is defendable unique IP vs vanilla integration glue?

Eng lead 4 questions

Alignment spread reference
top 88.9% / low 88.9% name / %

Alignment = share of total contribution carried by the functions an author has touched. Highest lands 88.9%; lowest of 1 authors lands 88.9%. Author names are hidden in the public demo.

Who's most/least aligned with where the value is, by name?
Commits on fragile code on track
2.4 % (approx.)

Approximate: commit-weighted mean of each author's pct_fragile (share of their touched functions now fragile/overloaded, — not an exact per-commit tally, since fragile/overloaded status is tracked per function, not per commit.

What share of commits land on fragile code?
Top-value test coverage at risk
0.0 %

0 of 31 top-decile-contribution functions with a static test signal show test coverage,; 0 of the 31 top-decile functions have no flow data at all (names-only mode).

What's test coverage across the functions that carry the top-decile value?
Bus-factor risk at risk
71 functions

71 of the 71 top-quartile-contribution functions WITH commit history have exactly one historical author (bus-factor risk). 7 top-quartile functions have no commit history at all and are excluded — this count is a floor, not a ceiling.

How many top-quartile-value functions have a single historical author (bus factor)?

Architect 5 questions

Worst-department latency at risk
2667.4 ms (p99, worst dept)

Worst the slowest department: p50 0ms, p99 2667ms across 311 functions (of 1 departments; unweighted percentile of each function's own avg_ms — there is no per-call latency histogram, only per-function averages,,.

What's the p99/p50 latency spread per department, and which is worst?
Slow & fragile overlap at risk
4 functions

4 functions sit in BOTH the slowest decile (avg_ms ≥ 267ms) and the fragile error-rate band (error_rate > 5%) — compounding risk: slow AND error-prone at once.

How many functions are both in the slow tail AND fragile?
Call-load concentration at risk
0.967 gini (0-1)

Gini of call volume across 311 functions is 0.967 — Pareto-concentrated (above the 0.60 threshold the research board's H01 'traffic concentration law' tests,.

How concentrated is call load across functions (Gini)?
Recent regressions at risk
21 regressions

21 functions show a reliability or latency regression (most recent FunctionDaily day vs the prior trailing window, — this is a rolling day-over-day comparison, not a calendar-week bucket; there is no weekly rollup table to query.

How many regressions fired in the latest window?
Unclear-role share on track
12.2 %

38 of 311 active functions carry no clear role signal yet (generalist archetype, the fallback when no naming/path/flow rule matches, — naming or structure debt that makes the map harder to read.

What share of the codebase has no clear architectural role yet (generalist share)?

Capstone note

These first-order cards are the evidence layer, not the debate. Bring the three capstones to the quarterly review and let each persona argue their own:

  1. Business capstone — is the top-decile value concentrated on stable ground, and is engineering spend flowing toward it or leaking into expensive dead weight?
  2. Eng-lead capstone — is the team's day-to-day work aligned with where the value is, and is any one person a single point of failure on it?
  3. Architect capstone — is the codebase's structure (latency spread, call concentration, role clarity) getting more legible over time, or less?
