Same problem,
six different shapes.
A solo founder, a scale-up and an agency all lose time to the same thing: nobody — human or agent — can answer what the product actually does without reconstructing it first. What differs is where that costs you.

sounds like your week.
Solo founders
The whole product is in your head — until it is not. Your only teammate is an AI that guesses.
One person building and running the whole product →SaaS startups
Two people know how everything works, and both of them are the bottleneck.
Seed to Series A, shipping faster than anyone can document →Scale-ups
Every squad knows its own area. The failures live between them.
Several squads, one product, nobody holding the whole picture →Enterprise product organizations
The people who built it have left. The system has not.
Large estates, long histories, and systems older than most of the team →Agencies and outsourcing
You are paid to change a system you have never seen, on a deadline you quoted before seeing it.
A new client codebase every few weeks, written by somebody else →AI product teams
Most of your token spend goes on your agents rediscovering the same things.
Agents in production, and a token bill that grows with usage →The measurement does not
change with company size.
One repository, fifty questions written as real engineering requests, the model held constant, answers scored blind. This is the part that is measured; everything on the pages behind these cards is a situation, not a case study.
Connect a repository.
Measure the difference.
Whichever of these you are, it starts the same way and takes a few minutes.
