# Draftt

> Draftt is building MaintenanceOS™, the operating system for tech debt elimination and routine maintenance: a continuous governance layer that identifies maintenance obligations across the entire engineering stack, translates them into business context, and drives the work to completion. It is the first agentic software maintenance platform, built for enterprises where AI accelerates code creation faster than maintenance capacity can keep up.

Draftt closes the gap between detection and elimination. Scanners produce findings, dashboards display status, and ticket queues track work after a decision is made, but the actual loop from identifying a maintenance obligation to proving it was resolved has lived in spreadsheets, status meetings, and last-minute heroics. Draftt runs that loop continuously: Identify what is at risk, Understand why it matters (ownership, cost, blast radius, urgency), and Eliminate it through workflow automation and agentic execution, tracked to closure with evidence. No agents to deploy. No code changes. Live in minutes.

## Key Facts

- Company: Draftt, Inc. (draftt.io).
- Category: MaintenanceOS™, enterprise platform for continuous tech debt governance, lifecycle management, and agentic software maintenance.
- Core loop: Identify (continuously detect outdated, risky, and unsupported technology) → Understand (attach engineering and business context: ownership, cost, blast radius, timeline) → Eliminate (workflow automation and agentic remediation, tracked to closure with proof).
- Agentless: no agents to deploy and no code changes; connects in minutes via standard APIs to cloud accounts, registries, source control, and ticketing systems.
- Coverage: AWS, Azure, and GCP, Kubernetes, runtimes, databases, certificates, IaC, open source packages, container registries, and AI models and services.
- Surfaces end-of-life and end-of-support events up to 24 months ahead, with extended support fees and risk exposure quantified in dollars so deferring an upgrade always has a price tag.
- Prioritization Agent scores every finding on business impact, engineering impact, and change analysis, with production awareness (sandbox vs. mission critical), blast radius analysis, and resolved ownership so prioritization ends in an assignee, not a debate.
- Agentic execution: zero-touch research (release notes, breaking changes, compatibility checks), orchestrated change with upgrade plans or code changes routed to the owning team, and closure validated against the live environment so the debt is provably gone, not just ticketed.
- AI Remediation Assistant and MCP server integration deliver fixes directly in the IDE, including PRs ready for review.
- Customers and users include SurveyMonkey, Blackhawk Network (BHN), Skai, Riskified, BigPanda, Windward, Merck, monday.com, ZoomInfo, KnitWell, and Nominal.
- Security: SOC 2.
- Why it matters: 20 to 50% of engineering capacity is lost to reactive maintenance and tech debt management; the average cost of a breach tied to outdated components is $4.88M (IBM, 2024); tech stack complexity is expected to grow 10x by 2027 with flat engineering headcount.
- Endorsed by engineering leaders including Craik Pyke, VP Infrastructure and Security Engineering at SurveyMonkey; Ben Neumann, Senior Director of DevOps at BigPanda; Erik Parienty, Director of Engineering at Riskified; Miki Manor, Director of Infrastructure Engineering at Skai; and Jonathann Zenou, Director of DevSecOps at Windward.

## Industries

- [Financial Services](https://www.draftt.io/industry/financial-services): Eliminate tech debt before it reaches a customer, an auditor, or the budget: end-of-life software, unpatched CVEs, and configuration drift under regulatory pressure.
- [Retail](https://www.draftt.io/industry/retail): Continuous tech debt governance for stacks that never sit still, before debt becomes a compliance gap, an outage, or a line on the cloud bill.
- [Healthcare](https://www.draftt.io/industry/healthcare): Governance for systems that cannot fail and cannot easily change: pinned runtimes, locked dependencies, and tight maintenance windows.

## FAQ

### What is Draftt?

Draftt is MaintenanceOS™, an operating system for continuous software maintenance and tech debt elimination. It identifies maintenance obligations across the engineering stack, adds business and engineering context, and drives the work to completion with workflow automation and agentic execution.

### Who is Draftt for?

Draftt is built for enterprise engineering, platform, DevOps, and infrastructure teams that lose significant capacity to reactive maintenance: version upgrades, end-of-life migrations, certificate rotations, compliance remediation, and cloud cost surprises.

### How is Draftt different from scanners, dashboards, and internal developer portals?

Scanners produce findings. Dashboards display status. Ticket queues track work after a decision has been made. None of them make the decision. Draftt is the layer that determines what matters, why, who owns it, and whether it actually got done, closing the loop from detection to verified elimination.

### How does Draftt relate to AI coding agents?

AI agents can execute, but they cannot govern. Detection without business context and prioritization is backlog noise. Draftt is the intelligence layer that understands the stack: what is running, what it connects to, and what breaks if it goes unmanaged. It then hands agents (or engineers) prioritized, contextualized, verified work.

### Which technologies does Draftt support?

Draftt covers the modern engineering stack: cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP, Kubernetes, runtimes, databases, certificates, IaC, open source packages, container registries, and AI models and services. The full list is in the documentation at https://docs.draftt.io/integrations-overview.

### Does Draftt require agents or code changes?

No. Draftt connects via standard APIs to cloud providers, repositories, registries, and ticketing systems. There are no agents to deploy and no code changes required.

### How long does onboarding take?

Minutes to visibility, days to full governance. Draftt maps technical debt immediately after connecting via API. For active remediation, it integrates with the IDE through its MCP server.

### How does Draftt prioritize findings?

Draftt's Prioritization Agent weighs business impact, blast radius, timeline, and ownership, and distinguishes sandbox from mission-critical environments, so teams work on what compounds rather than whatever a vendor flagged last.

### Does Draftt remediate automatically?

Draftt turns findings into action: tickets created and assigned with full context, multi-step upgrade plans sequenced across teams, and AI-generated pull requests ready for review, with every finding tracked to closure and validated against the live environment.
