Executive Summary

Engineering teams routinely lose the rationale behind key trade-offs: why one database was chosen, why a caching layer was avoided, or why a latency/consistency threshold was accepted. This problem is acute at mid-to-large organizations (the target 600,000 engineering orgs in our market sizing) where distributed teams, fast iteration, and churn create durable knowledge silos that make future debugging, onboarding, and architecture evolution slower and riskier. You could build an AI-backed decision knowledgebase that automatically extracts trade-off rationale from PRs, issue discussions, design docs and onboarding notes, links those decisions to the code and runtime signals, and surfaces concise, searchable explanations with provenance and confidence scores. The product would combine LLM-based summarization with human-in-the-loop verification, a schema for decision metadata, integrations into Git hosting/issue trackers and observability tools, and analytics that quantify decision impact on incidents and performance. This market is unusually attractive now: I estimate $12.0B total addressable market at roughly $20,000 ACV per engineering org, and the convergence of reliable LLM summarization, remote/distributed engineering practices, and tighter observability-docs linkages creates both technical feasibility and measurable ROI. Market and revenue potential scores (92/100 and 88/100) reflect that buyers will pay for reduced incident MTTR, faster onboarding, and fewer repeated architectural mistakes, but adoption will require clear ROI signals. To stand out you need better extraction accuracy and provenance than generic note-capture tools, workflow-first integrations that insert minimal friction into existing PR/issue flows, enterprise-grade security, and a clear analytics story tying decisions to runtime outcomes. The main challenges are noisy source material, organizational inertia around documentation, and the need to make AI suggestions auditable; if you solve for high-precision extraction, configurable schemas, and an easy human verification loop, you can convert the medium competition landscape into a defensible position.
