Availability

Demonstrated on supported SQL and report-definition samples. Support for broader proprietary formats has not been established.

The problem

Legacy reporting logic is often trapped across query files, report definitions, parameters, and undocumented operational knowledge.

The contribution

JodyInk designed and built an extraction-and-validation path that makes each reported fact traceable to its source locator and hash.

Decisions that shaped the work

  1. Keep the core deterministic and useful with the language model removed.

  2. Fail visibly on unsupported or partially parsed material instead of turning absence into an apparently complete specification.

What was implemented

  1. SQL and report-definition extraction for sources, tables, queries, columns, filters, and parameters.

  2. Evidence-backed inventories, specification skeletons, citation validation, rubric warnings, and public-sample exports.
