Analysis-Only

Analysis-Only is a leaner project mode: nori skips the wiki-building (indexing) phase and evaluates your compliance policy directly against your source code. There's no source-code Wiki tab or indexing step — but any external evidence you attach is still indexed and used. See Analysis-Only Mode for the details.

Pick this mode at project creation for smaller repositories, quick re-checks, or when you don't want to build or maintain a wiki index. The mode is fixed once the project is created.

Start a run​

Open the project and, from the project header, click Run New Analysis. In the configuration modal that appears, you can customize the run options or select a different AI model just for this run (overriding the default project models).

Once started, nori dispatches a bounded sub-agent per control and evaluates your source code directly against the selected policy. Progress streams live as the run executes.

Run Analysis Execution

The project dashboard organizes everything into tabs: General, Controls, Evidence, and Configuration. (The source-code Wiki tab is hidden in this mode; the Wiki (Files) document index for evidence still applies.) Past runs are listed under Analysis History.

(Optional) Tune the analysis​

Adjust behaviour under Project Settings → AI & Analysis Config ("Adjust inference models and scanning logic"):

Analysis Configuration

  • Analysis Depth — Light (Surface-level scan), Medium (Balanced details), or Extreme (Deep semantic traces).
  • Generate Executive Summaries — produce a high-level summary alongside the findings.
  • Performance & Parallelism — Analysis Parallelism (max concurrent LLM calls for control evaluation), Max Objectives per Agent, and Agent Timeout (seconds).
  • Budget Limits (Claude CLI) — Analysis Max Budget (USD) sets a per-agent spending cap; leave empty to disable it.
  • Resumability — Skip Existing (Analysis) ("Resume runs by skipping already-evaluated controls").

Wiki-specific settings (wiki parallelism, wiki budget, concise wikis, and wiki compression) don't apply in this mode.

Add external evidence​

Even without a source-code wiki, you can attach documents and index them for use during analysis — see External Evidence.

When your run finishes, continue to Review Results.
