Deterministic modernization

Modernize complex enterprise systems without losing the business logic.

Adapts maps the existing estate, preserves business intent, governs AI-assisted transformation and traces every modernization decision back to source evidence.

Adapts HC3Deterministic enterprise context

Modernization outputs

  • Estate baseline
  • Business rules
  • Target architecture
  • Transformation plan
  • Generated implementation
  • Validation evidence

Each output keeps a thin trace through HC3 back to the source estate.

The gap

Modernization fails when knowledge is separated from transformation.

People and time become the bottleneck — or agents work from one enterprise context.

With Adapts

The journey

One context across the complete modernization journey.

Every stage shares the same HC3 model — up to date on every commit. Stages stay visible and linkable; nothing is hidden behind a carousel.

  1. Understand

    Discover the estate

    Map applications, dependencies, workflows and source evidence

    Expand from one repository to shared libraries, products and the organization-wide estate — before anyone guesses at scope.

    Before Adapts

    Weeks of tribal-knowledge transfer and incomplete inventories.

    With Adapts

    A current estate map teams can query from the code itself.

  2. Plan

    Define the modernization path

    Sequence work from real system relationships

    Adapts provides evidence, dependencies and architecture context for modernization decisions — teams retain disposition authority.

    Before Adapts

    Roadmaps drawn from workshops, not from dependency reality.

    With Adapts

    A phased plan grounded in blast radius, shared services and blockers.

  3. Understand · Plan

    Preserve business intent

    Trace rules from source through requirements to target design

    Business rules are extracted with source evidence — not invented by a model without grounding.

    Before Adapts

    Critical conditionals live only in tribal knowledge and aged COBOL.

    With Adapts

    Each rule links source symbol → workflow → requirement → target responsibility.

  4. Build

    Transform with governed agents

    Specialized agents operate inside approved context and policy

    Agents share one HC3 interpretation of the estate — with visible boundaries, required approvals and recorded outputs.

    Before Adapts

    LLMs guess at context and ship risky code.

    With Adapts

    Agents receive deterministic context upfront and leave an evidence trail.

  5. Review

    Validate behaviour and risk

    Compare source and target behaviour with shared evidence

    Requirement coverage, functional tests, data comparison and exception paths — tied back to source.

    Before Adapts

    Downstream impact surfaces after the incident.

    With Adapts

    Matching and divergent behaviour called out with source evidence before cutover.

  6. Release · Operate

    Migrate and continuously govern

    Cut over safely, then keep the model current

    Pilot → parallel run → controlled cutover → validation → decommission — with HC3 refreshing on every commit.

    Before Adapts

    Migration ends when traffic moves; knowledge drifts again.

    With Adapts

    Operational context, docs and impact analysis stay aligned with the live estate.

The engine

From legacy parsers to a modern application estate.

One pipeline: ingest, graph, plan, then ship into front-end, backend, infra and tests — in the languages your teams already run.

Legacy ParserCOBOL · Pascal · Stingray · Fortran · RPG · PL/I
Knowledge graphAlways current on every commit

Legacy parsers ingest decades of production code into one org-wide model — no manual inventory.

Preserve intent

Every modernization decision traces to source evidence.

Selecting a node reveals illustrative evidence fields — the same shape teams see when reviewing grounded outputs.

Governed transformation

Agents operate around one stationary HC3 context.

Each agent has approved context, assigned responsibility, permitted tools, policies, required approval and a recorded output.

Validate

Source and target behaviour, side by side.

Illustrative equivalence compare — matching steps verify; differences expose evidence for review.

Cutover

Migrate with a governed timeline — then keep governing.

Modernization is continuous: after cutover, commits refresh documentation, impact analysis and operational context.
