Run an Analysis

With a project set up, you can run a compliance analysis against its policy. Everything executes locally on your workstation — your source code is only ever seen by the LLM provider you configured, never by azuma.

Choose your workflow​

How a run works depends on the project mode you chose when creating the project. The mode is fixed at creation and is shown on the project card, the project header, and its settings:

  • Discovery & Analysis (default) — nori first indexes your codebase into a local Wiki, then evaluates the policy against that curated context. Best for larger or unfamiliar codebases, where the up-front index pays for itself across controls.
  • Analysis-Only — nori skips wiki-building and evaluates your code directly. A leaner, faster workflow for smaller repositories and quick re-checks.

Both modes use the same evaluation engine and the same zero-code-upload guarantees, and both can draw on External Evidence — documents you attach so requirements that aren't visible in code can still be verified.

Start a run later​

Both the New Analysis and Wiki Indexing dialogs offer Start later beside the start button. Choose the controls, the model and everything else as usual, then pick a time — the run is queued exactly as configured and begins then. Teams commonly use this to keep scans out of working hours, so they do not consume a shared provider limit while people are working and the results are waiting the next morning.

The project page lists what is queued, with a Cancel beside each entry, and keeps a short history of what became of recent scheduled runs — whether each finished, failed, or never started.

:::caution nori must be open at that time Analysis runs on your machine, through the app — there is no cloud scheduler. If nori is closed or signed out when a scheduled run comes due, it is recorded as missed rather than started later. That is deliberate: a scan you deferred to 22:00 should not start itself in the middle of the next working day. A run that is only briefly late — nori was busy, or restarted within the hour — still starts. :::

Once a run finishes, head to Review Results.
