How it works
We calculate a duplication-risk score
The three factors are weighted into a single 0-100 score — more iteration, more separately-built similar features, and rarer refactoring push risk up.
Get a consolidation plan
Next steps match your risk tier, from no action needed to scheduling a dedicated consolidation pass.

Frequently asked questions
Does this scan my code for actual duplicated functions?
No. This estimates risk from the process patterns you describe — it does not scan your actual code for duplicated functions or components. It's a fast proxy based on how the codebase was built, not a static analysis tool.
Why do regeneration cycles increase duplication risk?
Each time AI-assisted regeneration reworks existing code without full context of what already exists, it tends to create parallel implementations rather than reusing them — more cycles compound that risk.
What counts as a 'similar feature built separately'?
Any case where two parts of the app solve essentially the same problem independently — for example two different form-validation implementations, or two upload flows built at different times.
How accurate is this estimate?
It's a directional signal, not a precise measurement. Use it to decide whether a consolidation pass is worth scheduling, then verify with an actual code review or duplication-detection tool.

GitHub Copilot and Cursor generate code but don't estimate how much duplication that process has introduced. MVPHub's tool gives a fast, independent risk read based on your development patterns.
