“It works, but nobody understands it.”
Instrument the system, recover its real behavior, and reduce risk before deciding whether to repair or replace it.

Buyers usually recognize a failure mode before they know which service name to use.
Instrument the system, recover its real behavior, and reduce risk before deciding whether to repair or replace it.
Map the operation as it actually happens, then automate the repeatable path while keeping exceptions visible.
Combine supported APIs, browser control, reconciliation, and careful boundaries without pretending the missing capability is trivial.
Separate deterministic software from genuine reasoning, bound failures, and measure the result with representative evaluations.
Translate findings into architecture changes, patches, and regressions that the delivery team can keep.
Make dependencies, state, failure, and recovery observable enough to change the system safely.
Profile the whole path before scaling or rewriting. Waiting often hides in several ordinary places.
Replace demo assumptions with explicit state, controlled dependencies, observability, testing, and predictable failure.
Create a small durable boundary for normalization, idempotency, retries, reconciliation, and auditability.
Review how it authenticates, authorizes, trusts, stores, calls, and fails—and stay for remediation when useful.
Send the system, constraint, symptom, or risk in the language you already have.
