CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into an interactive visual blueprint of architecture, code, data access, and dependencies.
Trust Every Change to Verified Facts
CAST is a deterministic MRI for software. It semantically analyzes your source code and turns it into maps, dashboards, and call graphs your teams and AI agents can rely on.
Annual subscriptions include complementary concierge services with dedicated specialists.
The old way
- ×AI coding agents infer architecture from source files and miss relationships that span multiple systems
- ×Technical debt stays invisible until it fails in production
- ×Cloud migration plans are built on assumptions, not measured blockers
- ×Open source security and license risks go undetected inside the portfolio
The CAST way
- ✓Semantic analysis of actual source code produces verified maps of objects, dependencies, transactions, and data flows
- ✓Structural integrity gates apply ISO 5055 rules to catch system-level flaws before production
- ✓Cloud maturity and blocker analysis shows exactly what stands between you and migration
- ✓Open source risk control and SBOM management give you a factual inventory of what runs in your software

CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into an interactive visual blueprint of architecture, code, data access, and dependencies.
Structural integrity gates
CAST Gatekeeper analyzes semantics, applies ISO 5055 rules, recommends remediation paths, and connects to your issue tracking systems.
Technical debt, measured
Identify and prioritize the debt that actually threatens reliability, security, and efficiency, with work effort metrics to plan remediation.
Cloud readiness, fact-checked
Score cloud maturity, find migration pathway candidates, and remove the specific blockers standing in the way.
SBOM and open source risk control
Detect open source security and license risks and manage your software bill of materials with a factual inventory.
AI and agentic readiness
Give MCP-compatible AI agents verified architectural context so they transform complex software with fewer blind spots and less rework.
Green software insights
Measure green software impact and get remediation insights that reduce waste alongside risk.
Deploy your way
Run CAST on-premises or in the cloud, delivered as SaaS, a Docker container, or a Windows extension.
Trusted by teams at
Connect your repositories
CAST plugs directly into GitHub, BitBucket, and Azure DevOps to reach your source code and open source components.
Analyze the semantics
Deterministic analysis maps code objects, data structures, dependencies, frameworks, and cross-application relationships across 450+ technologies.
Navigate the results
Dashboards, maps, and call graphs give executives, technologists, and AI agents a shared, factual view of the software.
Act with confidence
Steer technical debt, modernization, and cloud initiatives, and verify changes before they reach production.

What does deterministic software intelligence mean?+
The information is derived through semantic analysis of the actual software rather than 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.
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.
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 replace.
What use cases does AI + 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.
How is CAST deployed?+
Deployment options include SaaS and on-premises. The MCP server for CAST is delivered as a Docker container or Windows extension, and CAST plugs directly into repositories such as GitHub, BitBucket, and Azure DevOps.
