AI speeds up modernization projects by speeding up up-front analysis time

Using AI code stuff to remove bottlenecks to getting modernization projects going.

UK government pilots cut legacy-system discovery from weeks to hours – five weeks to under a day for 33 Clojure apps, 15 days of manual regression testing to 30 minutes – and the real gain is that modernization work nobody could justify starting becomes cheap enough to plan. AI speeds up understanding the old system; it doesn’t replace the governance and engineering needed to change it.

Mostly summarized by AI.
