Who it's for
Point us at the system you least want to touch
The Sprint is built for the estate that is business-critical, poorly understood, and risky to change. If a modernization or AI program is stalled because no one can say exactly what a system does, that is the system to bring.
Ideal candidate
A mainframe, custom, or packaged system that runs something important, has little current documentation, and blocks a modernization or AI initiative.
What you bring
Read access to the code, configuration, and any documents, plus a few experts for a short validation session. No pre-work or clean-up needed.
What you avoid
A long, expensive assessment. The Sprint is fixed-scope and proves value before any large commitment.
What you get
From black box to a clear path forward
Functional specification
What the system does, in business terms, grounded in the actual logic.
Application architecture map
In your own tenancy. rhino is the engine, not the owner. The governed logic graph is yours to keep and reuse across programs.
Modernization path
Where to simplify, refactor, or modernize, sized and sequenced.
Executive readout
Findings, implications, and a recommended next step.
How it runs
Two weeks, fixed scope, your environment
Runs inside your environment, with the model of your choice. Nothing leaves your perimeter.
01
Kickoff
Scope and objectives set with your team.
02
Assets
Code, configs, and documents into your perimeter.
03
Extraction
The logic graph is built; gaps flagged.
04
Validation
Findings refined with your experts.
05
Readout
Evidence-backed results and path forward.
Sample deliverable
A governed map of what your system actually does
Every rule, dependency, and workflow, traced to its source with a confidence score and flagged as explicit or inferred. You leave the Sprint with an artifact your team, and your AI agents, can actually use.
Security and deployment
It runs where your code already lives
Your perimeter
Deploy in your own environment, on-prem or in your VPC. Nothing leaves your perimeter.
Your models
Connect the cloud or private model of your choice, with SSO and role-based access.
Enterprise-grade
SOC 2, and accreditation for government and regulated industries.
Common questions
Discovery Sprint FAQ
How long does it take?
Two weeks, fixed scope, from kickoff to executive readout.
What systems can you run it on?
Mainframe and COBOL, custom code, packaged software and ERP, low-code, and the integration fabric around them.
What do we get at the end?
A functional specification, an architecture map, a sized modernization path, and an executive readout, all grounded in the real logic.
Does it commit us to a larger program?
No. The Sprint is designed to prove value first, so you decide the next step from evidence.
Is our code safe?
Yes. It runs inside your environment with the model of your choice, and nothing leaves your perimeter.
How do we start?
Book a short scoping call and we will confirm the system, access, and timing.
