Today, TrueChange provides excellent technical dependency analysis, helping developers understand which modules, actions, entities, and consumers are affected by a change.

However, in large enterprise environments, developers, architects, and tech leads often need to answer a more important question:

"What is the business impact of this change?"

I would like to propose an AI-powered Business Impact Analysis feature that extends dependency analysis beyond technical references and provides a functional and architectural impact assessment before publishing.

When modifying:

-Entity attributes

-Public actions

-REST/SOAP APIs

-Structures

-Business processes (BPT)

-Timers

-Service actions

developers can identify technical dependencies, but it is often difficult to understand:

Which business processes are affected.

Which applications rely on the changed component.

Which integrations may be impacted.

Which user journeys could break.

The overall risk level of the change.

This challenge becomes significant in large OutSystems factories containing dozens or hundreds of applications.

Proposed Solution: Add a new option in Service Studio

Analyze Business Impact

Before publishing, the platform would use AI and platform metadata to analyze:

Technical dependencies.

Cross-application dependencies.

Service consumers.

Exposed APIs.

Timers and background processes.

User-facing screens.

Business workflows.

Historical usage information (when available).

The platform could then generate a report such as Business Impact Analysis

This change may affect:

14 screens across 3 applications

Customer onboarding workflow

Sales mobile application

2 external integrations

Invoice generation process
