Workwise indexes the code, the change requests, the gates and the people who own them into one queryable graph — so an agent can tell you what a change touches before it touches anything.
Across data and departments
Engineering artefacts connect to the governance and review structures around them, so the graph answers organisational questions, not just structural ones. Colour marks the domain; size marks how much depends on it.
01
Your agents read code fluently and understand your company not at all. Three gaps compound: the architecture that only your longest-tenured engineer holds; the dependencies nobody documented because they were obvious at the time; and the reasoning behind decisions, which left when the person who made them did.
02
Search matches strings, not meaning. Documentation describes the system as it was the day someone wrote it down. Dependency graphs stop at the import — they never reach the change request that authorised the edit, the gate that let it through, or the reviewer accountable for it. Each tool sees one slice.
How it stays true
The graph cannot quietly drift the way a wiki does. Drift becomes a reading instead of a surprise — every node carries its findings and severity. Across a 1,711-file corpus:
Healthy
Flagged
Missing
Dead
