The paper introduces a concept, BI (business intelligence) recovery, in software reverse engineering research. It is named to alternate "business asset", because we discover the abstract knowledge along with reverse engineering result could generate new wisdom. And this new wisdom could be taken into account in program understanding. The main difficulty in extracting program structure from program code is we are lacking the knowledge of business intelligence, which is complementary to program code. Here, we propose our research method and solution to solve this issue.
