Idea

Data teams struggle to document what events mean because documentation gets out of sync with code. This tool auto-generates event catalogs directly from code, ensuring documentation is always accurate and readable by both engineers and analysts.

Why this is interesting

Data observability and event-driven architectures are mainstream now, and the pain of stale Segment or Mixpanel taxonomies is well-documented in data engineering circles. Backstage covers service catalogs and dbt covers transformation lineage, but auto-generating a *behavioral event* catalog from source code has no clear incumbent at meaningful scale. The $2k–8k/mo revenue band is plausible for a narrow B2B tool sold to data-conscious product teams, though it implies a low seat count or tight willingness-to-pay, which limits upside without a strong expansion motion. The core risk is that most teams just don't prioritize documentation enough to pay for it — they'll accept broken wikis and tribal knowledge rather than budget for a fix, making distribution brutally hard unless this embeds as a CI step that causes real friction when skipped.
