Claude, with a modicum of guidance from an engineer familiar with your monolith, could could write comprehensive unit tests of your existing system, then refactor it into coherent composable parts, in a day.

Not doing so while senior management demands the use of AI augmentation seems odd.

It's a 25-year-old CAD application written in very non-standard C++. I doubt it.

Certainly I have tried to accomplish tasks giving Claude guidance far outstripping "a modicum".
