The COBOL Source Code Analyser & Insight Generator Pack is a local, read-only toolkit designed to help organizations understand, document, and de-risk existing COBOL systems—without modifying source code or uploading files to external services.

Built for environments where COBOL remains mission-critical, this pack analyzes COBOL programs and COPYBOOKS to produce clear technical documentation and plain-English business explanations. It enables faster onboarding, safer change management, and audit-ready documentation for legacy systems that are often poorly documented and hard to maintain.

This is a code-only package, intended for use in secure, offline, or air-gapped environments.
