Build a file migration planning tool that helps teams move collections of documents, images, structured data, and project assets between formats or storage systems while minimizing information loss.
Let users define source and target formats, sample files or metadata, required features, preservation priorities, and destination constraints.
Create:
A compatibility matrix for source and target formats.
A feature-loss checklist covering metadata, formulas, layers, links, formatting, and embedded content where applicable.
A migration dependency graph showing related files and references.
A validation plan with checksums, record counts, and format-specific integrity checks.
A dry-run report identifying unsupported or ambiguous conversions.
A staged migration plan with checkpoints and rollback considerations.
A post-migration verification dashboard.
A machine-readable manifest recording every planned transformation.
Do not claim that a conversion is lossless without appropriate validation. Distinguish metadata-based predictions from checks performed on actual files. Never overwrite source files during planning. Design the system with extensible format adapters and include a fictional project migration example.
