KISS — Simplification Opportunity Detection

Analyze source code and architecture for simplification opportunities — places where accidental complexity can be reduced without losing capability. Produce actionable findings with severity ratings, dimension scores, code locations, and concrete simplification suggestions.

The framing matters: this is not about reporting what IS complex, but about identifying what CAN be simplified. Essential complexity (inherent to the problem domain) is not a simplification opportunity. Accidental complexity (introduced by our choices) is.

Dimensions

Five dimensions, each targeting a different axis of simplification:
