TDIA, our Tech Debt Calculator, prices every finding in your repository in dollars, ranks what costs you most, and opens pull requests to pay it down. Re-scored on every push, so the number never goes stale.
Engineering feels it as drag. Finance can only fund what's quantified. And AI coding tools now write code faster than teams can maintain it. TDIA reads the code, not a survey, and puts both sides on one axis.
A reasoning pipeline, not a linter. Specialists run in dependency-ordered waves, each building on what the last found. A critic clears the noise before anything reaches you.
Measure mode is read-only: checks, pull requests, contents and metadata. Fix mode is opt-in: TDIA opens pull requests on its own branch and never pushes to your main branch or merges on its own. Scans run on your own Anthropic API key, so your code never reaches Athenaworks. Per-tenant credentials are encrypted at rest.
The difference isn't coverage. It's who decides what's worth fixing, and in what currency.

Athenaworks has delivered software with globally sourced senior teams since 2013. TDIA fixes what it can; the same engineers help you clear the rest.
Paid plans open after the pilot. Prices are set; launch date to be announced.
