Ship Score

Kill shot

The whole product rests on reliably detecting AI-assisted commits from git history, which is a fingerprinting guess that collapses as AI use becomes universal and untagged, so the 'net positive/negative verdict' is built on sand. LinearB and Jellyfish already own the eng-leader DORA dashboard budget and are shipping AI-impact views into the same contract. Microsoft will inevitably ship AI effectiveness metrics natively within GitHub Copilot's enterprise dashboard, instantly destroying the market for third-party git parsers.

No vibes. No flattery.

PIVOT · 57/100. Real demand, but the shape needs to change.

The kill-shot

The whole product rests on reliably detecting AI-assisted commits from git history, which is a fingerprinting guess that collapses as AI use becomes universal and untagged, so the 'net positive/negative verdict' is built on sand.

What would change the verdict

Publish the open-source-repo analysis, then get a VP Eng to pre-pay for a Team seat because your AI-vs-human bug-revert number answered a board question theirs couldn't; commitment from a budget-holder validates the detection is trustworthy enough to act on. A VP of Engineering signs a prepaid annual contract to use the tool internally to justify their AI budget to the board.

From the dossier · The problem

Engineering organizations are spending $50-500/developer/month on AI coding tools with no way to measure whether they're getting positive ROI. The developer-forum thread 'Do you have any evidence that agentic coding works?' (461 points, 455 comments) captured the industry's dirty secret: nobody has data. Engineering managers are making headcount and tooling budget decisions based on vibes and vendor marketing. Meanwhile, individual developers report that AI-generated code creates more bugs than it fixes, introduces subtle architectural decay, and kills the joy of programming (2,151 community…
