Tech Debt

This breaks down technical debt into six categories (code, architecture, test, dependency, documentation, and infrastructure) and scores each item using a formula that weighs impact, risk, and effort. The output is a prioritized backlog with business justifications and a phased remediation plan you can work through alongside feature development. It's most useful when you know something's wrong but can't articulate why refactoring X matters more than refactoring Y, or when you need to make the case to leadership that yes, we really do need to upgrade that ancient library. The scoring framework is simple enough to be practical without turning debt management into its own full-time job.
