Decisions with visibility.
Not guesses.
Building software is no longer the hard part. Changing it safely is.
We build products that make the reality of your software visible — so decisions about change stop being guesses.
"More software projects have gone awry for lack of calendar time than for all other causes combined."
A team promises a feature in six weeks. Everyone agrees. Work begins.
Three weeks in, they discover a dependency no one mentioned. A silent assumption becomes a visible problem.
Six weeks become twelve. Trust erodes. No one was wrong. They just could not see.
Software does not become hard to build.
It becomes hard to change safely.
Today, creating features is fast.
What slows teams down is everything that comes after:
"When we change code, we have to find out what it does. We read the code, we talk to people, and we run it, hoping that nothing surprises us."
Michael Feathers, Working Effectively with Legacy Code
As systems grow, decisions become harder:
- Knowing what a change really involves
- Understanding effort before committing to timelines
- Assessing impact before something breaks
- Not depending on one person to explain the system

Rigel Rise exists because building software is no longer the hard part.
Changing it safely is.
We focus on the moment where most damage happens in software teams: when a decision turns into a commitment without enough visibility.
Turn implicit technical reality into explicit, shared understanding.
Externalize Understanding
We take what usually lives in the heads of a few individuals and make it visible, explainable, and discussable across roles.
Focus on the Decision Moment
We focus on the moment where most damage happens: when a decision turns into a commitment without enough visibility.
Augment, Not Replace
Our products do not replace people. They surface evidence and context so humans can make better decisions together.
"Truth can only be found in one place: the code."
AI is not the product. Visibility is.
Rigel Rise does not use AI to generate code. We use AI to investigate existing systems, extract evidence, and translate technical reality into human language: consistently, at scale, without depending on a single person.
Unvely
It helps teams understand what they are actually changing before they change it.
Unvely doesn't generate code. It reduces uncertainty.
It reads the existing system and shows what sustains current behavior, which parts are connected, where changes propagate, and where risk lives.
How long will this really take?
Understand effort before committing to timelines.
What parts are involved?
See which parts of the product are connected and affected.
What can break?
Assess impact and side effects before something breaks.
Who do we need to ask?
Reduce dependency on one person to explain the system.

The billing module has an undocumented dependency on legacy auth tokens. Sarah Chen (Backend Lead) should be involved in the migration planning.
Built for teams who think before they act.
Founders & Product Leaders
Make decisions with confidence. Communicate impact without relying on assumptions or tribal knowledge.
