How Acme Corp keeps a 172-object Salesforce org documented, scan after scan.

Acme Corp, a fictional mid-market company, runs a single consolidated Salesforce org. Instead of a yearly documentation scramble, the team works from a portal it re-scans after each release.

01 · Context

A consolidated org, documentation that went stale.

Acme Corp runs a single Salesforce org built up over years of consolidation: 172 documented objects, 2,376 business rules, 41 screen flows and 124 integrations.

Documentation was a once-a-year effort, accurate the week it was written and stale a month later. Every audit and every migration review started by re-discovering the org from scratch.

02 · Shift

From a yearly document to a portal.

With aprity, the team re-scans the org every week, after each release. The documentation portal tracks the org as it evolves, and the team reads it directly instead of maintaining files.

Each business rule links back to the component it was read from, so reviewers can check an explanation against the org rather than take a document on faith.

03 · Everyday use

The org, understood before every change.

Before touching an object, an architect opens its page and the execution graph to see the business rules and automations that run on it.

When new work is scoped, Story Agent drafts Gherkin user stories in the portal, grounded in the documented org, for the team to review.
