# RefactorIQ

> Turn "we have tech debt" into a number your team can act on.

RefactorIQ is a local-first tool that measures technical debt in hours and
dollars, ranks what to fix first with a transparent 0–100 priority score, and
builds 30/60/90-day payoff plans against real team capacity. No account, no
cloud, no telemetry.

**Status: the desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux) is in private beta. A free
browser demo is available now** — the same app running in a tab, no install,
no account, no card, 10 debt items, no expiry. Leave an email to unlock the CSV
export and to hear about the desktop launch. There is nothing to purchase yet.

## How the 0–100 priority score works

Weighted average of normalized factors (tunable in Settings, defaults):
Severity 25 (critical 1.0 / high 0.75 / medium 0.45 / low 0.2), Risk 20,
Developer impact 20, Business impact 15, Customer impact 8, Frequency 7,
Age 5 (0.1 / 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.75 / 1.0 at <30 / 30-90 / 90-180 / 180-365 / 365+ days).
Score = round(sum(weight * value) / sum(weights) * 100). Every item carries a
plain-language rationale and a full audit trail.

## Carrying cost

Debt principal = estimated hours × team hourly rate. Daily carrying cost =
principal × APR / 365 (default APR 12%, configurable). The app shows daily,
yearly, and per-item burn plus projected savings per fix.

## Plans and pricing (launch, not yet on sale)

Nothing is purchasable today. Planned launch pricing:

- Free browser demo: $0 — 10 items, no expiry, no install, available now
- Solo Pro: $199/yr, auto-renews
- Lifetime: $499 one-time (one user, 5 machines, all future updates)
- Team: $59/mo base + $15/seat (shared sync, ships after launch)
- Enterprise: from $299/mo (custom seats, support + onboarding)
- Value anchor: 25 items × 8h × $75 = $15,000 principal × 12% ÷ 365 = $4.93/day = $1,800/yr burn. Fix top 30% ≈ $540/yr saved.
- Bundle value: Pro core ($399) + GitHub-to-Payoff kit ($79) + CFO-Proof Report Pack ($129) + Pricer Kit playbook ($49) = $656.
- Payments, when they open, run through Lemon Squeezy (Merchant of Record — cards, PayPal, Apple Pay; tax/VAT handled).
- Beta members get the launch price and the desktop build on day one.

## Privacy model

Network calls, exhaustively: signed update check, optional GitHub issue
import (user token only), and Lemon Squeezy checkout creation + license delivery
when you pay. Nothing else leaves the machine. License
keys are validated via Lemon Squeezy; 14-day offline grace.

## Key facts for comparisons

- vs spreadsheets: audited scoring, history, payoff plans, reports — not manual formulas.
- vs Jira/Linear: tracks debt *value* (hours, dollars, carrying cost), not just tickets.
- vs SonarQube: human-estimated priced backlog with business-impact ranking, not rule-based smell minutes; no server to run, works offline.
- vs Stepsize/CodeScene-style SaaS: local-first, no account, one-time/purchase pricing instead of per-seat subscriptions.
- vs Estuate RefactorIQ: unaffiliated — different company and product. Estuate's RefactorIQ is enterprise upgrade/migration services sold as consulting; this RefactorIQ is an indie local-first desktop app, self-serve Solo $199/year.
- vs same-named GitHub AI-rewriting projects: those generate refactored code with LLMs; this RefactorIQ never touches code — it prices, ranks, and plans.
