No source code access required
We work with repository metadata only — commits, PRs, review events. Your code stays private.
Revoke access anytime
You control the access window. Grant read-only permissions before we start — revoke them the moment we're done.
Structured report + leadership briefing
You get clear findings and actionable recommendations, not raw data.
Results in 5–7 days
No 3-month consulting projects. Full findings delivered within a week of access being granted.
We analyze repository activity to surface the exact workflows slowing your team down — with data, not guesses.
Pull request lifecycle
Where PRs sit the longest, who's waiting on whom, and how long reviews actually take.
Review latency
Which engineers or teams are the review chokepoints — and exactly how much delay they add to every release.
Contributor workload
How workload is distributed across the team — and who's carrying more than their share.
Delivery flow & merge patterns
How often work actually ships, where it stalls in the pipeline, and how cross-repo dependencies compound delays.
Both formats deliver the same rigorous analysis. The difference is how deep we go into your codebase.
Standard
Uses repository metadata only — commits, PRs, review history. No source code access required. Compatible with GitHub and GitLab.
FAQ
Do you need access to our source code?
No. The audit is based entirely on repository metadata — commits, pull requests, review events, and merge patterns. We never read file contents, business logic, or proprietary code. Your IP stays private.
What access do you actually need?
Temporary read-only access to your GitHub or GitLab organization — metadata only. Access is granted for the audit period and can be revoked at any time. We'll walk you through exactly what permissions are needed before you grant anything.
How long does the audit take?
The Standard audit takes 5–7 business days from the moment access is granted. The Deep Dive typically takes 10–14 days and includes an additional leadership briefing session. Both timelines include full written findings.
What's included in the final deliverable?
A structured written report with findings organized by theme — bottlenecks, coordination gaps, delivery risks — along with prioritized recommendations. The Deep Dive also includes a live walkthrough with your engineering leadership team.
Do you work with smaller engineering teams?
Yes. The audit is especially valuable before scaling — when it's easiest to fix coordination patterns. We work with teams of 5 engineers and up. If you're hiring fast or onboarding new management, an audit gives you a clear baseline before things get more complex.
How is this different from hiring a consultant?
Traditional consultants rely on interviews and gut feel. We analyze actual behavioral data — what the team did, when, and how — so findings are grounded in evidence, not impressions. Faster to complete, more objective, and no disruption to your team's day-to-day work.
