By the numbers

The evidence is already in the code.

We've worked inside the estates that enterprise COBOL runs on in banking, insurance, logistics, and energy across four continents.

Direct answer

What is COBOLpro?

COBOLpro is a source-backed documentation and knowledge-retention platform for enterprise COBOL estates.

It analyzes COBOL source, copybooks, JCL, data stores, job flows, and SME context to produce program documentation, dependency maps, business-rule catalogs, runbooks, and audit evidence that teams can review before modernization, retirement, or succession work.

Who uses it?

Application, architecture, operations, risk, audit, and modernization teams that own critical COBOL systems.

What does it produce?

Traceable documentation, rule catalogs, lineage, runbooks, and reviewer-ready evidence packages.

How is it different?

The source artifacts stay the evidence base; AI can explain outputs but does not become the system of record.

Where should teams start?

Start with one bounded application, the SMEs who know it, and the decisions the documentation must support.

What you receive

Source-backed artifacts your teams can actually use.

Every output is tied to source evidence — not summarized from memory, not paraphrased from interviews. Traceable to the line of code.

01

Program documentation

Purpose, logic flow, inputs, outputs, copybooks, data stores, and error behavior — documented from source.

  • Program purpose and business context
  • Dependency maps and data flow diagrams
  • Job streams and batch sequence
  • Error paths and exception handling

02

Rule catalog

Business rules, calculations, validations, thresholds, and exceptions — each tied to source code evidence.

  • Calculation logic with source references
  • Validation rules and threshold definitions
  • Exception handling and override conditions
  • Owner decisions and regulatory triggers

03

SME retention package

Expert context captured before it walks out the door — operating knowledge, test practices, and ownership records.

  • Structured interview records
  • Operating procedures and run notes
  • Known issues and workaround history
  • Onboarding material for incoming teams

04

Handoff & audit package

A complete evidence package for application teams, auditors, operations, and incoming maintainers.

  • Runbooks for operations and support
  • Ownership and accountability map
  • Audit-ready evidence bundles
  • Reviewer sign-off and validation records

All artifacts delivered in structured formats — ready for your document management system.

How it works

A controlled process. Predictable output.

Start with one bounded system and the SMEs who know it. We take it from there.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Define the systems, programs, jobs, SMEs, and open questions the audit must answer. Set the boundary before the work starts.

    1–2 weeks

  2. 02

    Analyze & interview

    Review source artifacts to build program notes, dependency maps, and rule candidates. Run structured SME sessions to capture operating context, exceptions, and ownership.

    Core engagement

  3. 03

    Validate

    Review findings with application, operations, audit, and business owners before anything is published. Evidence is confirmed, not assumed.

    Sign-off required

  4. 04

    Publish

    Deliver program documentation, rule catalogs, dependency maps, runbooks, interview records, and a structured retention package.
