Measured on execution traces from a real enterprise deployment, the framework produced a Business Requirements Document in under nine minutes per service.
The extracted business rules were independently corroborated against real production defect records, and the agents use static analysis tools and are guided by embedded expert-practitioner cognitive models.
The authors claim a cost reduction above 98% against a baseline built from repository metrics with IFPUG complexity models and industry labor rates; a comparable prior migration to the same architecture took over two years.
