Why Agentic Delivery Platforms Fail Their Compliance Review, and What Passes

Overview

Cartographer is the discovery and system-mapping documentation surface. In Synthetix™ this capability is delivered by Analyst plus the Discover agent trio, which together produce structural visibility of routes, data, background execution, and capability intent.

Business Value

• Builds a reliable map of current-state behavior before modernization decisions are made.
• Reduces blind spots by grounding architecture input in deterministic discovery artifacts.
• Improves migration confidence by exposing hidden dependencies early.

Core Responsibilities

• Identify modules, responsibilities, and business capability touchpoints.
• Resolve dispatch and ownership paths for legacy and mixed stacks.
• Build database routine and dependency visibility for downstream planning.
• Enrich background-job and asynchronous workload understanding.

Key Inputs

• Source code, route definitions, schema and SQL assets, job/scheduler artifacts.
• Engagement context from intake and analyst evidence.

Key Outputs

• Analyst requirement and capability context.
• Dispatch resolution artifacts.
• Database catalog artifacts.
• Enriched background-job inventory.

Governance and Controls

• Deterministic, evidence-first extraction where supported.
• Confidence and unresolved markers when source evidence is incomplete.

Typical CTA Page Metadata

• Slug: /docs/agents/cartographer
• Primary Audience: Discovery teams, architects, modernization analysts.
