Fix the 8% causing 90% of issues
CAST semantically analyzes your source code and maps what is really inside it. Target the small fraction of code driving most production failures, then clear the path to cloud and AI.
Annual subscriptions include concierge services with dedicated specialists.
The shift
You cannot fix what you cannot see
Large portfolios hide their own risks. Guesswork makes technical debt, cloud and modernization programs slow and expensive.
The old way
- ×Manual discovery takes months before modernization work even starts
- ×Technical debt estimates rely on opinions instead of measured facts
- ×AI coding agents fly blind on unfamiliar, multi-technology applications
- ×System-level flaws surface in production instead of in review
- ×Open source and license risks stay invisible until audit day
The CAST way
- ✓Semantic analysis turns source code into factual maps, dashboards and call graphs
- ✓Identify and prioritize the exact code objects behind reliability, security and efficiency issues
- ✓Give AI agents verified architectural context through a secure MCP interface
- ✓Catch structural flaws before changes reach production with ISO 5055 integrity gates
- ✓Detect open source security and license risks across the whole portfolio
Capabilities
One intelligence layer for every software decision
From a single application to a thousand, CAST gives executives, technologists and AI agents the same verified facts.
See inside any application
CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into an interactive visual blueprint of code objects, data structures, dependencies and frameworks.
Govern portfolios with facts
CAST Highlight grades technical debt, cloud maturity, open source risk, green software impact and AI readiness across every application you own.
Stop flaws before production
CAST Gatekeeper applies ISO 5055 rules as a structural integrity gate, recommends remediation paths and connects to your issue tracking systems.
Ground your AI agents
An MCP server delivers deterministic architectural context to AI coding agents, deployed on-premises or in the cloud as a Docker container or Windows extension.
Clear the path to cloud
Identify the best migration candidates, surface cloud blockers and track progress with cloud maturity grades.
Manage your SBOM
CAST SBOM Manager handles software bill of materials, with open source security and license risk detection built in.

FAQ
Questions teams ask before adopting CAST
What is AI + CAST?+
AI + CAST combines AI coding agents with deterministic software intelligence. CAST maps the architecture, dependencies, data access, call paths and structural risks inside an application, then provides that context to AI agents so they can understand and transform complex software more accurately, efficiently and safely.
Why can't an AI coding agent understand the application on its own?+
AI coding agents generate code well but struggle to understand large, complex applications from source files alone. Important relationships span multiple technologies, databases, repositories and applications. CAST gives the agent a factual map of these relationships, reducing blind spots, incorrect assumptions and unintended downstream impacts.
What does deterministic software intelligence mean?+
It means the information comes from semantic analysis of the actual software rather than being inferred or generated probabilistically by an LLM. CAST identifies the application's real objects, dependencies, transactions, data flows and architectural relationships, so AI agents can ground their work in verified facts.
Does CAST replace our existing AI coding tools?+
No. CAST complements the AI tools your organization has already selected. It supplies deterministic application context to MCP-compatible agents and development tools, improving your existing AI-enabled workflows without introducing another tool to rip out later.
What modernization use cases does CAST support?+
Understanding unfamiliar applications, extracting business rules, change-impact analysis, generating documentation and tests, remediating technical debt, removing cloud blockers, identifying microservice candidates, replacing frameworks or databases, and transforming legacy applications.
