cost of Oracle ULA Certification & LMS Audit Defense?", "a": "Cost is controlled by five levers: (1) collapsing cloned query fan-out across oracle database, weblogic & java se instances into canonical

source files, extracts every trigger, query, and UI control, cross-references them against live database dictionary metadata (ALL_TAB_COLUMNS, ALL_DEPENDENCIES), profiles actual column data distributions, and automatically generates the Business Requirements Document (BRD), Technical Approach Doc, Test Specifications, and Verified Test Results." }, { "q": "What does a typical project timeline look like from kickoff to production cutover?", "a": "Projects follow four gated phases: Phase 0 (Weeks 1-2: Binary AST Scan, Data Profiling & Auto-Generated BRD), Phase 1 (Weeks 3-6: Core
