Impact Analysis

Predict what a change breaks — before it breaks

The refactor you’re avoiding has a blast radius you can’t see. ContextDx maps every dependency across services, integrations, and data so you can trace it before you commit.

// the problem

The change you’re afraid to make

You know the one. Touch it and something three systems away falls over — and you won’t know which until prod tells you. So the risky code calcifies, because nobody can see what depends on it.

We touched X and Y went down. Nobody had connected them on a diagram.

What impact analysis misses when it lives in your head

In your head

You remember the dependencies you’ve already been bitten by. The ones you’ve never hit are invisible — until the change ships.

A validated map

ContextDx holds the whole dependency graph — services, integrations, data — so blast radius is something you read, not something you happen to recall.

// how it works

Map the blast radius across services

  1. Derive the dependency graph

    Board Builder maps relationships semantically — not just static imports — across services, queues, and external integrations.

  2. Query what a change touches

    Ask “what depends on the auth service?” in plain language and get a C4 board scoped to exactly that.

  3. See cross-system reach

    The board spans service boundaries and integrations, so the dependency nobody documented surfaces before you commit — not after.

Querying ContextDx for the dependencies a change touches

// ask it

Trace a change across systems

Concrete questions, each answered with a diagram:

  • If I change the order schema, which services read it?
  • What calls this endpoint — directly, or through a queue?
  • Which integrations break if I retire this service?
  • What’s downstream of the payment webhook?

// before you commit

Make the change you’ve been afraid to make.

See the blast radius before you touch it. Map your architecture and query it free during preview.
