Graphify Labs GTM brain

category

market profile

• text: Coding agents need source-linked context across repositories, while teams must review a growing volume of changes.
• text: The open-source local engine supports adoption by individual developers, with hosted collaboration and enterprise self-hosting as expansion paths.

personas

• title: Staff engineer or platform engineering lead
  pains:

  • Understanding dependencies across repositories before a refactor
  • Repeatedly explaining architecture to developers and coding agents
• title: Engineering director
  pains:

  • Reviewing risky migrations and pull requests at scale
  • Making code-change evidence accessible across teams
• title: Enterprise security or infrastructure leader
  pains:

  • Keeping source code within controlled infrastructure
  • Evaluating external tools against identity and compliance requirements

icp

• text: Software organizations with multiple interconnected repositories and teams making frequent changes; inferred from cross-repository features.
• text: Regulated or security-conscious enterprises requiring self-hosting and SSO, as well as individual developers evaluating the free tier.

message pillars

• text: Keep a common, current model of the codebase.
• text: Make answers auditable through their source relationships.
• text: Protect code with local processing.

objections

• objection: We already use code search and AI review.
  response: Evaluate graph traversal and evidence alongside existing tools on a representative cross-repository change; verification coverage depends on language and workflow.
• objection: Our code cannot leave our environment.
  response: The open-source engine runs locally and the Enterprise plan offers self-hosting; confirm security requirements in a pilot.
