Feature Map

A Feature Map is a directed graph where each node is a Feature and each edge is a dependency between two Features — typically because one Feature calls into the code of another, or shares state with it. Specsight derives the map automatically from the same codebase analysis that produces the spec, so the dependencies reflect what is actually wired up rather than what someone documented in a diagram years ago.

The map answers a question every PM and engineering manager asks at some point: if we change this, what else does it touch? A Feature with many incoming edges is a foundation that other parts of the product rely on — risky to change. A Feature with no incoming edges is safe to deprecate. The map makes both visible at a glance.

It is also a navigation tool. Click a node to open its Feature page; trace an edge to find related scenarios; pivot to the changelog of any Feature on the path. The map and the spec are the same data, viewed two different ways.
