Each panel follows same pattern:
def _get_[panel_name]_panel_css() -> str:
return """
# 200-300 lines of CSS
"""
def _get_[panel_name]_panel_html() -> str:
return """
# 300-500 lines of HTML
"""
def _get_[panel_name]_panel_js(include_script_tags: bool = True) -> str:
js_code = """
# 100-200 lines of JavaScript
"""
if include_script_tags:
return f"<script>{js_code}</script>"
return js_code5 panels × 3 functions × ~300 lines = ~4,500 lines of repetitive code
Opportunity: Template-based or component-based architecture could reduce this to ~1,000 lines

Using a simple scoring system:
| Category | Score (1-10) | Weight | Weighted Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Code size | 9 | 2 | 18 |
| Complexity | 8 | 3 | 24 |
| Maintainability | 9 | 3 | 27 |
| Testability | 9 | 2 | 18 |
| Documentation | 5 | 1 | 5 |
| Performance | 7 | 1 | 7 |
Total Debt Score: 99 / 120 (83%)
Interpretation:
- 0-30: Healthy codebase
- 31-60: Some technical debt
- 61-90: Significant technical debt
- 91-120: Critical technical debt (rewrite recommended)
Conclusion: Score of 99/120 indicates critical technical debt requiring rewrite
| Factor | Refactor | Rewrite | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to completion | 7 days | 3 days | Rewrite |
| Risk of new bugs | Low | Medium | Refactor |
| Final code quality | Medium | High | Rewrite |
| Learning curve | Low | Medium | Refactor |
| Long-term maintenance | Medium | High | Rewrite |
| Feature parity | High | Medium | Refactor |
| Architecture improvement | Low | High | Rewrite |
| Team velocity impact | Medium | Low | Rewrite |
Score: Rewrite 5, Refactor 3
Recommendation: Rewrite (better ROI, cleaner result)
- Adapt openadapt-evals viewer to openadapt-ml structure
- Add API bridge: LiveEvaluationTracker → benchmark_live.json
- Deploy new viewer at
/benchmark-v2.html - Test with current benchmark runs
- Verify live tracking works with Azure eval
- Document differences from old viewer
- Gather user feedback (internal testing)
- Identify critical missing features
- Add multi-run comparison (if needed)
- Fix any issues or bugs
- Performance testing with 48+ runs
- Documentation updates
- Add deprecation banner to old viewer
- Redirect
/benchmark.html→/benchmark-v2.html - Update all documentation links
- Update README and quick start guides
- Notify users via changelog
- Remove old viewer code from repository
- Clean up deprecated API endpoints
- Archive old viewer for reference
- Update tests to use new viewer
- Final documentation cleanup

Current state: 4,774-line monolithic Python generator creating 568KB HTML with 64% unused features
Recommendation: Rewrite based on openadapt-evals architecture (3 days vs 7 days to fix)
Key metrics:
- 3.7x size reduction
- 93% less connection management code
- 5.7x smaller HTML files
- 83% technical debt score (critical)
