Does TangleMap produce complete lineage?
No. It produces dependency evidence with confidence and caveats. That distinction is intentional.
Read methodologyFAQ
Common questions before starting.
The assessment is intentionally narrow and evidence-oriented. These answers keep expectations clear before a walkthrough or pilot.
Does the collector export passwords?
The product is designed to redact or omit secrets. Configs and local logs should remain client-controlled unless explicitly shared.
Review securityDo we need admin access?
Broad admin access is not the default target. Read-only or least-privilege access is preferred, but limited access can reduce coverage.
Review access postureIs this a Power BI migration tool?
No. Power BI can be a modernization target, but TangleMap is an assessment layer, not an automated converter.
See decision framingIs this a hosted SaaS portal?
No. The current posture is local collection, encrypted bundle handoff, Postgres ingestion, and analyst-local review tools.
See how it worksWhat happens if metadata is incomplete?
The assessment records partial scans, warnings, inaccessible surfaces, unsupported patterns, and low-confidence relationships.
Read about caveatsHow large can an estate be?
A real assessment may include tens or hundreds of reports, datasets, packages, jobs, tables, models, and components. The useful output separates asset levels and exposes dependency concentration.
View sample outputsWho interprets the recommendations?
TangleMap accelerates discovery and scoring, but consultant review is still required before roadmap, funding, or implementation recommendations are final.
See servicesWhat is the readiness checklist for?
It helps teams see whether they have enough evidence to plan modernization or whether assessment should come first.
Use the checklistCan partners use the output?
Yes. The output can support consulting, planning, backlog preparation, or AI-assisted delivery frameworks when redacted and scoped appropriately.
Read partner pageHow does a pilot differ from a walkthrough?
The walkthrough reviews fit and scope. A pilot is a bounded assessment run against an agreed estate slice with validation criteria.
Review pilot approachNext step
Start with the assessment question.
If the estate is hard to document, hard to scope, or hard to modernize with confidence, start by turning it into structured evidence.
