Engineering & DevEx.

Ship more, page less. We build the CI, review, and on-call automations that the platform team’s roadmap has been deferring for two quarters — so engineers spend more time on design and shipping, and less on yak-shaving the build, waiting for review, and getting paged for the same flaky alert.

Why it pays back

Outcome 01

AI changes the cycle time

55% faster task completion for devs using AI tools, controlled study1

The build wires AI assistance into the right places — PR review, scaffolding, test generation, refactor planning — not just sprinkled on as IDE autocomplete. The lift compounds across the team, not per-dev.

Outcome 02

Elite teams ship a different game

127× faster lead time to production for elite vs low DORA performers2

The gap between elite and low performers is mostly tooling and workflow, not raw talent. The build closes the highest-leverage parts of it — CI, review, deploy — without a multi-quarter platform rebuild.

Outcome 03

Code review is the bottleneck

76% of devs say slow PR review is a top productivity drag3

AI first-pass review surfaces the obvious things — style, missing tests, common bugs, security smells — before a human looks. Reviewers get the diff with the nits already flagged and spend their time on design.

Outcome 04

On-call burns engineers out

62% of engineers report burnout, with on-call cited as a top driver4

Smart routing, alert deduplication, and runbook auto-execution cut night pages on the recurring stuff. Your best engineers stop writing their resignation in the small hours after the third 3 a.m. page.

Outcome 05

Claude Code unlocks the team

76% of devs use or plan to use AI coding tools in the next year5

The build sets up the harness, the shared skills, the MCP servers for your internal tools, the permissions baseline, and the contributor runbook — not just “here’s an API key, good luck.”

Who it’s for

What you get

Deliverable 01

CI/CD modernisation

Pipeline parallelisation, smart test selection (only what’s actually affected), aggressive build caching, and secrets hygiene. Median cut on existing repos lands at 40%+ wall-clock without changing your test suite.

Deliverable 02

AI code review

First-pass review on every PR — style, common bugs, missing tests, security smells, and subtle regressions caught with custom evals against your repo. Human reviewer sees the diff with the obvious things already flagged or fixed.

Deliverable 03

On-call routing & runbooks

Alert deduplication, escalation graphs based on real on-call patterns, and runbook auto-execution for the top recurring alerts. Tied into PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or Incident.io. The 3 a.m. pages that should resolve themselves do.

Deliverable 04

Claude Code rollout

Org-wide Claude Code setup: shared skills, MCP servers for your internal tools, permissions and settings.json baseline, hooks, and a contributor runbook. The next engineer joining isn’t starting from zero.

How a build runs

Week 1 / D 1–3

Repo & pipeline audit

One working session with your platform / eng leads. We profile your CI, sample recent PRs and review wait times, and pull the on-call paging history. Highest-payoff first deliverable picked by end of day three.

Week 1 / D 4–7

First win shipped

Usually CI parallelisation or AI review on a scoped repo — the change with the most measurable impact and the lowest blast radius. Real numbers against the week-one baseline by end of week one.

Week 2

On-call + Claude Code rollout

Alert dedup and runbook automation tied into your paging system, and the Claude Code baseline rolled out to a pilot squad with shared skills and MCP servers wired to your internal tools.

Week 3

Rollout & handover

Expand from pilot to the rest of engineering, ship the dashboard (CI time, review wait, pages per shift), and walk the platform team through the runbook. You leave week three with the build live and a baseline you can keep measuring.

Indicative timeline. Monorepos, regulated environments, or unusually large on-call surface can stretch this; we confirm dates after the kickoff session.

Fixed scope. Peace of mind.

Defined scope, agreed in writing before kickoff. No metered hours, no surprise add-ons, no scope creep mid-build. The first week sets the bar — we ship to it, and you see the build running against your real PRs and pages by week three.

You own the repo, the prompts, the skills, and the model relationship. Production model usage is billed by the provider directly to your account — no markup, no reseller margin, no vendor lock-in to us.

Investment is sized to your repo count, on-call surface area, and Claude Code adoption scope after the intro call. We come back with one number, in writing.

FAQ

Our CI is 200 lines of YAML duct tape. Where do you start?

We don’t rewrite from scratch — that’s how DevEx projects get killed. Week one is a profiling pass: which steps run on every PR vs only on main, what’s actually blocking on the network vs the tests, where caching is missing. We ship the highest-leverage cuts in the first week without touching the rest of the pipeline.

Will AI code review just create more noise?

That’s the failure mode we’re explicitly building against. The reviewer is grounded in your repo’s conventions, your tests, and your past PR comments — not a generic style guide. We tune signal-to-noise on a sample of recent PRs before turning it on, and the dashboard tracks comment dismissal rate so you can see if it’s drifting.

We already use Copilot. Why do we need this?

Copilot helps individual devs in the editor. The build addresses the parts no IDE plugin can touch: PR-level review, on-call routing, multi-step refactors via Claude Code, and the org-wide tooling that turns one productive dev into a productive team.

Where does the data live?

In infrastructure you control. Code never leaves your VCS. Review and Claude Code orchestration deploy in your cloud account (AWS, GCP, Azure) by default. Your code does not train external models.

How do you measure success?

Three numbers, baselined in week one: median CI time per PR, median PR review wait time, and pages per on-call shift. The dashboard ships with the build and reports against the baseline so the lift is on the record, not in a slide.

Do we own the model relationship?

Yes. Production model usage is billed by the provider directly to your account — no markup, no reseller margin, no lock-in to us. You can swap providers post-handover. Build-time spend is on us.

What happens after the build?

Three options: (1) take the repo and run it internally, (2) keep us on for monitoring, runbook expansion, and Claude Code skill development, (3) scope a follow-on build (test generation, infra automation, observability pipelines). No pressure to continue.
