Every scanned point with the score it earned and what moved between them.
First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Sometimes one insight eliminates 10 things. Look for the unifying principle that makes multiple components unnecessary.
Core principle: "Everything is a special case of..." collapses complexity dramatically.
| Symptom | Likely Cascade |
|---|---|
| Same thing implemented 5+ ways | Abstract the common pattern |
| Growing special case list | Find the general case |
| Complex rules with exceptions | Find the rule that has no exceptions |
| Excessive config options | Find defaults that work for 95% |
Look for:
Ask: "What if they're all the same thing underneath?"
Before: Separate handlers for batch/real-time/file/network data Insight: "All inputs are streams - just different sources" After: One stream processor, multiple stream sources Eliminated: 4 separate implementations
Before: Session tracking, rate limiting, file validation, connection pooling (all separate) Insight: "All are per-entity resource limits" After: One ResourceGovernor with 4 resource types Eliminated: 4 custom enforcement systems
Before: Defensive copying, locking, cache invalidation, temporal coupling Insight: "Treat everything as immutable data + transformations" After: Functional programming patterns Eliminated: Entire classes of synchronization problems
