The problem
The system runs the business. Nobody can change it.
- It was built years ago, for how the company worked then.
- One or two people keep it alive.
- It cannot take what the business asks for now: integrations, AI.
- Security has already put a date on it.

Acceptance is a dashboard, not an opinion.
Every real user flow is recorded on the old system and replayed against the new one. Each one matches or opens a defect.

We run our company on it
Fractik is how all 23 people at Galaxy ship software; every project makes the next one faster.
Clean-room method
One extractor sees the old system, the builder never does. Only sanitized specs and the recorded oracle cross the wall.
