Three verbs
Ask
Put the question in words. Lattice answers with the commit, the review and the diff, and points at whatever in the repository explains the decision. It cites its sources; you can always check.
Trace
Follow a function, flag or line through its whole life. Trace shows every change, who made it and when it went quiet, so the next time it breaks you already know the story.
You already know git. Lattice just stops getting in the way.
