- Documentation debt

**2. Impact Analysis & Prioritization**
- Development velocity impact
- Bug frequency correlation
- Maintenance cost estimates
- Risk assessment matrix

**3. Remediation Roadmap**
- Quick wins (< 1 week efforts)
- Medium-term improvements
- Major refactoring projects
- Timeline and resource estimates

**4. Prevention Strategy**
- Code review guidelines
- Automated quality gates
- Architecture decision records
- Debt budget allocation

**5. Tracking & Metrics Framework**
- Debt measurement KPIs
- Progress tracking dashboards
- ROI calculations
