Understand Why Features Aren't Shipping Faster

In 15 minutes, see exactly where engineering time goes - using only Git metadata, never your source code.

Metadata only - we never access your source code

Your Code Stays Yours. Always.

We take your security seriously. Here's our ironclad commitment to protecting your data.

We NEVER Access

Zero exceptions. Zero compromise.

  • Source code contents
  • Secrets or environment variables
  • API keys or credentials
  • Repository file contents
  • Write access to anything

Your intellectual property remains 100% private. We physically cannot see your code.

What We Analyze

Metadata only, never content

  • Pull request metadata (titles, authors, timestamps)
  • Commit history (SHA, timestamps, statistics)
  • Review activity (who reviewed, when, approval status)
  • Repository structure (names, branches)

We analyze activity patterns and workflow metrics - the "when" and "how", never the "what".

The Black Box Problem Every VP of Engineering Faces

Budget goes in. You hire great engineers. Features ship.

But when the board asks why Q3 shipped late, you're left with anecdotes instead of answers.

Without visibility into where engineering time actually goes, you can't defend your team, justify headcount, or prove ROI.

CodePulse gives you the data to open the black box.

Built for Engineering Health, Not Surveillance

Think of it as unblocking teams, not watching them. We help you find and fix process friction - so your developers can focus on shipping.

Let's be crystal clear:

No keyloggers. No screenshots. No surveillance.

We analyze commit metadata and PR workflows - that's it. Your team's actual code, their browsing history, their screen time? We never touch it.

Unblock, Don't Micromanage

We surface blockers so you can remove them - not watch over shoulders. See where PRs get stuck waiting for review, not how many keystrokes someone types.

Already Public Data

This is Git history analysis - the same data already visible to anyone with repo access. We just make patterns easier to spot.

Team Health Focus

Metrics reveal process problems, not people problems. Long review times usually mean unclear ownership or overloaded reviewers - not lazy developers.

Rollout Guidance Included

Get our playbook on how to introduce metrics to your team without causing concern. Transparency builds trust.

What This Is

  • Git history analysis - data already visible to anyone with repo access
  • Surfacing blockers so you can remove them and help your team ship faster
  • Team health metrics to identify process issues, not individual performance
  • Conversation starters for 1:1s and retrospectives

What This Isn't

  • Keyloggers or screen monitoring
  • Screenshots or activity tracking
  • Surveillance or "productivity policing"
  • A tool for micromanagement
