Flow
Measure time in review, revision, merge queues, builds, and deployment rather than hiding delay inside one average.
Workflow and platform signals
Repository Metrics With Context
Measure the development system, not individual worth. Start with a decision, define the workflow, and connect every chart to an action.
Measurement with purpose
Start with a decision
Define the question, the workflow states, the identifiers connecting systems, and the action a signal should support.
Reliability
Track webhook delivery, CI queue time, flaky checks, infrastructure errors, backup freshness, and restoration tests.
Outcomes
Connect reviewed changes to artifacts, deployments, incidents, and recovery with clear definitions and appropriate context.
Responsible analytics
Improve systems—not rankings
Commit counts, lines changed, comments, and merge volume are activity signals. Use them for diagnosis only when scope, repository type, and workflow context are visible.
