Syntaxa / two products for engineering review

Understand the codebase. Test the agent’s behavior.

Setsumei provides reusable codebase analysis: relationships, prioritized findings, a local scan brief and MCP context. RunQC tests selected behavior at an AI-agent endpoint you are authorized to assess. They are separate products for different engineering questions.

SETSUMEI MAPS THE SYSTEM RUNQC PROBES THE BEHAVIOR THE TEAM OWNS THE DECISION
The workflow moved

More change puts more pressure on system understanding.

EXISTING PRACTICE

Context assembled across people and tools.

task source + tools change tests
BOTTLENECK / scarce expert time
RIGHT NOW

AI adds more changes to understand.

human changes agent changes finite reviewer context ?
RISK / plausible output, incomplete system context
Two products / two jobs

Codebase understanding and agent testing serve different jobs.

Results your team can inspect

Repeat the workflow when its inputs change.

Refresh Setsumei analysis after relevant source changes, then use reports, the browser brief or MCP for the next question. With RunQC, rerun relevant scenarios when the agent, configuration or behavior changes. Your team interprets each product’s separate results.

Syntaxa EVIDENCE
01 / BASELINE 02 / UNDERSTAND 03 / ACT 04 / VERIFY
Start with an engineering question

Discuss the codebase your team needs to understand.

Describe the engineering question and language/build context at a high level. Discuss software fit and a customer-run evaluation with local results, a scan brief and relevant MCP queries.
