Compliance and audit relief
Regulators and auditors want evidence of how a system behaves. In most legacy estates that evidence lives in the heads of two engineers. ARC turns it into a cited, reviewable record.
The audit finding you've heard before
"Management could not demonstrate how the system calculates X." It shows up in SOX walkthroughs, model-risk reviews and regulatory exams. The calculation is correct; it has been for fifteen years. Nobody can show why, because the logic is spread across a stored procedure, a nightly batch job and a screen nobody has opened since the vendor left.
Evidence, not interviews
Auditors are not asking engineers to be eloquent. They want a rule, the data it touches, where it runs, and proof it's the one in production. That is exactly what discovery produces.
- Every rule, written down. Business rules extracted as Given / When / Then statements, each cited to the files and lines it came from.
- Who can do what. Roles and permissions read from the code, compared against who actually uses each screen.
- Security findings mapped. Findings grouped against the controls your auditors test, with the evidence beside each one.
Confirmed by the people accountable
Nothing ARC extracts is treated as fact until someone responsible confirms it. Your experts accept or correct each rule, and that review is itself part of the record.
The evidence pack stops being a project. It's a by-product of understanding the system.
What you get
Timelines depend on access to code and people; we confirm them on the scoping call.
