Why We Built Ad Actum
Every codebase has structural issues that compound over time. God objects, hidden coupling, data integrity gaps, security vulnerabilities buried under layers of workarounds.
Linters catch syntax. Tests catch regressions. But neither catches the architectural decisions that slowly degrade your system’s ability to change.
AI makes this worse. Not because AI writes bad code — it often writes code that works. But it writes code that solves the local request in the most locally convenient way, not the most structurally correct one. The feature lands. The PR merges. The ticket closes. And the codebase quietly becomes harder to change, harder to secure, and harder to trust.
That is why Ad Actum exists. We help software teams understand and control the hidden cost of AI-assisted code change.
We’re starting with three study types:
- Ad Actum War Room — architectural and lifecycle analysis that surfaces structural drift, hidden complexity, ownership gaps, and expensive follow-up work
- Ad Actum Reliability Investigation — active correctness failures traced from symptom to cause: races, stale state, permanent leaks, broken teardown, and incomplete recovery
- Ad Actum Security Audit — hands-on review of trust boundaries and exploit paths: authorization failures, fail-open controls, token transport drift, and attack chains from entry to blast radius
Each study produces severity-ranked findings, code-grounded evidence, and concrete remediation direction. Not a report that sits in a drawer — findings you can act on.
