Traditional metrics measure only syntactic complexity. The mechanical structure of code. They count IF statements. They measure nesting depth. They calculate decision points. But they miss the insights needed for successful modernization: https://t.co/mUp3lE7b07

You're about to spend $15M modernizing your legacy system. But 30-40% of that code is dead. It executes but serves no purpose. Or never executes at all. Or serves business processes discontinued years ago. New plan: ELIMINATE first, THEN modernize https://t.co/rCJdlmlJNl

CFO: "Why does a simple change cost $200K and take 3 months?" IT Director: "The system is complex." ❌ Budget denied—again. The Tech Debt Calculator gives you real #s instead: "$8.2M/yr debt, reducible to $2.8M with 23-mo ROI." ✅ That gets funding. https://t.co/f1MwI9U4ic

Your legacy developers aren't the barrier to AI modernization. They're your best guides: - Let them validate AI outputs - Start small, prove it works - Redefine success metrics - Frame AI as partner, not replacement The tech is ready. Is your culture? https://t.co/lhI0XvgEnQ

Mainframe migration math we get wrong: Migration: $50M-$500M, 3-7 years, 60-70% failure rate AI-powered modernization: 80% faster discovery, incremental investment, preserved business value That "expensive mainframe" might be your cheapest option.

Every tech executive asks it eventually: "Why are we still spending millions on this 40-year-old mainframe?" It's a fair question. MIPS pricing isn't cheap.
