Know what’s happening in engineering. Without the spreadsheets.
Evidence-backed performance reviews
Evidence is collected continuously, so managers walk into calibration prepared — with structured context from the entire review period, not just what they remember from last month.

Data that drives decisions
Reports surface what needs attention and what to do about it — staffing gaps, blocked initiatives, capacity for new work — so leaders act on evidence, not instinct.

Mobile shipped early with capacity to spare. Platform blocked 14 days — this unblocks Q1 targets with zero roadmap risk.
Synthesized from 127 signals this week
Continuous evidence. Automated.
Indicators tend to direct your attention toward what they are monitoring. It is like riding a bicycle: you will probably steer it where you are looking.
Andy Grove
·Co-founder & CEO · Intel
I have these very detailed engineering reviews weekly. I have a pretty good understanding of what’s actually going on because we go through things in detail.
If you have meetings weekly or twice weekly, you’ve got a snapshot of what that person said. You can then plot the progress points.
You can sort of mentally plot the points on a curve and say, ‘are we converging to a solution or not?’

It’s easy to pick up the strong signals, but I want to intercept them when they are weak.

Used by teams who can't afford guesswork.
Trusted by engineering leaders who needed reviews to be fair and decisions to be defensible.
Faster reporting“With 200+ engineers, it was hard to determine bottlenecks in delivery processes. We wanted to have real time data consistently flowing instead of relying on semi-manual processes.”

How top engineering leaders think
Every two weeks, an engineering leader shares how they actually handle one hard problem — reporting to the board, running calibrations, deciding where to invest headcount. No theory. Just what works and what doesn't.
