Independent diagnostics for engineering organizations

You spent a year's budget on AI tooling. What did it change?

I measure it, and tell you what to do next: where AI helped your engineering workflow, where it cost you, and the one thing to fix first. Fixed price, two to three weeks.

The work

One fixed-price engagement

Named, priced and scoped in public, so you know what you would be buying before we ever speak.

AI Workflow Triage

The question it answers

We spend $X a year on AI tooling across our workflow. Where did it help, where did it cost us, and which one thing should we fix first?

What it looks at

Four areas of the engineering workflow: coding, code review, testing and in-repo documentation.

What I look at, in your systems

  • Twelve months of version-control history (GitHub/GitLab) and project-tracker data (Jira/Linear)
  • Your pull-request comments
  • What you pay for AI tools, and who has seats
  • Six to ten interviews
  • A short adoption survey

How the comparison works

A measurement like this is won or lost here, so this part is stated openly rather than left as method.

  • Teams that adopted at different times are compared against each other, rather than the whole organization against a single before-and-after date.
  • Engineers hired after adoption define what ramp time means now. They have no pre-AI baseline, and pretending otherwise is where most of these numbers go wrong.
  • Hiring freezes, layoffs and roadmap changes are written into the report as a stated list, not quietly excluded.
  • Team-level only. No individual scoring, ever. The team is the right unit of measurement — and it is also why nobody on your team has to treat this as surveillance.

What arrives at the end

  • A per-area scorecard: helped, neutral, or cost you
  • A paired read — throughput and stability and what it cost in attention. Never throughput alone.
  • A spend map
  • One named bottleneck, with three to five ranked moves
  • A one-pager written for your board
  • A follow-on already scoped, if you want one

Price and time

$8,000 – $20,000 Fixed, agreed before work starts. Two to three weeks.

What it is not

  • Not a tool bake-off
  • Not a platform to install
  • Not performance reviews
  • Not an exhaustive measurement of everything — it names one thing to fix first

I don't sell you the tools, I don't install a platform, and I'm paid the same whatever the data says.
