One-liner
Roam is the local codebase intelligence layer for developers and AI agents — a map of your repo, algorithmic judgment, pre-change gates, and post-change evidence in one local CLI, with paid PR Replay, a planned hosted PR bot, and a planned metrics dashboard.
Two-paragraph blurb
AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini) write code that compiles and passes tests but breaks something else. They can't see what the code touches, which tests cover it, which loop just went quadratic, or whether they're editing one of three near-identical clones. Roam exposes that engineering judgment as deterministic local tools — call graphs, blast-radius, algorithmic risk, refactor simulation, audit evidence — that agents call before, during, and after every change. The CLI runs entirely on your machine; the same engine is planned to run on every pull request via Roam Review, or inside a customer's network when a private- deployment pilot is explicitly scoped.
On top of that engine, Roam compiles trustworthy evidence for AI-assisted software change — who acted, what authority existed, what context was read, what changed, what could break, what policy applied, what verified it, who accepted risk. Every analysis writes a tamper-evident local audit trail (in-toto v1, cosign-verifiable). Roam maps to and supports evidence for SOC 2 CC8.1, ISO 42001, and internal AI-governance controls; it does not certify compliance with any framework. The CLI is open source under Apache 2.0 and free forever. Paid layers package Roam as PR Replay today, with hosted Roam Review and Roam Cloud as early-access products and private-deployment pilots scoped by SOW for regulated buyers. Built by a sole-trader in Athens, customer-funded, no VC.

Voice notes
- Plain English. No marketing buzzwords. No "delightful," "robust," "synergy," "supercharge," "leverage."
- Direct verbs. "Roam catches" not "Roam helps you catch."
- Specific over generic. "47-caller blast radius" not "many dependents."
- Honest about gaps. We say what we don't have, not just what we do.
- EU + privacy-first is real positioning, not garnish.
