The people are leaving. The knowledge does not have to.
The engineers who built and maintained the world’s COBOL estates are leaving the workforce. The Filix platform and methodology are designed to capture what they know — in a form that helps the engineers who come next reach competence faster, and that reduces the estate’s dependence on a shrinking pool of specialists.
Capture, assist, diagnose.
Preserve what the experts know
A virtual SME on the metadata
Runtime diagnostics, not tribal lore
Lower the bar to competence, safely.
None of this replaces the senior engineer; it changes what the organisation depends on them for. When the metadata is authoritative, the runtime is real and the rules are captured, a newer engineer can do more of the work safely — and the specialists can spend their scarce attention on the problems that genuinely need it.
Reduce the dependence before you have to.
