Throughput and quality, instrumented: AI-first that you can prove.
Track AI usage, throughput delta, defect rate, time-to-merge. The dashboard you wish your VP of Engineering had.
Why this engagement exists.
"Are we getting value from AI?" is a question that should have a data-backed answer. We instrument the metrics that matter (DORA fundamentals plus AI-specific signals) and give you a dashboard that proves the throughput delta without trading off quality. It is a setup-and-handoff engagement: we build and wire the dashboard, then hand it to your team to own, with an optional recurring quarterly review.
Deliverables, not promises.
Every engagement ships these artefacts. Nothing here is fluff. Each item is something your team will hold in their hands at the end.
Metrics framework
DORA fundamentals + AI-specific (active users, suggestions accepted, time-to-merge).
Tool usage instrumentation
Wiring data sources from Cursor / Copilot / Claude Code + Git + CI.
Quality baseline
Current-state defect rate, escape rate, rollback frequency: the bar to maintain.
Dashboard build
Grafana / Looker / Metabase, wherever your team already looks.
Quarterly review template
A repeatable QBR template tying the metrics to outcomes and follow-up actions.
Recommendations
Specific per-team recommendations from the first quarter of data.
The process, step by step.
No mystery, no consultant theatre. This is how the work actually flows from kickoff to handover.
- Step 1
Define metrics that matter
DORA + adoption + quality. We start from outcomes, not from "what is easy to measure".
- Step 2
Instrument data sources
Tool usage + Git + CI + ticket system. Pipelines into your warehouse or our hosted setup.
- Step 3
Baseline current state
Two weeks of baselining so the delta we report later is real, not noise.
- Step 4
Dashboard build + access
Dashboards in the tool your team already uses, with sensible access controls.
- Step 5
Quarterly review cadence
A QBR template + the first review run with you, so the rhythm is established.
Teams that measure adoption see better outcomes. The act of measuring creates the feedback loop. The most common surprise: throughput goes up before adoption does, because senior engineers adopt fastest.
The questions that actually come up.
DORA fundamentals (lead time, deployment frequency, MTTR, change failure rate) + adoption (active users, suggestions accepted, prompts run) + quality (defect rate, escape rate).
