For executives and engineering leaders

Finally know how your engineering team is really doing.

NRD Insight reads every change your team ships — then answers in whichever language you speak. Plain English for the boardroom. Quoted evidence for the engineering review. Same truth, two views.

14 days free · up to 5 repos · nothing analyzed until you say so.
Your code never leaves AWS and is never used to train models.

Two views, one truth

Most engineering tools only talk to engineers.

So the person paying for the team can't read the tool that measures it. NRD Insight ships two purpose-built views over the same analysis — pick yours.

Your engineering team, explained without the jargon.

The Executive view answers the three questions you actually have — how is the team doing, how is each person doing, and what should we do next — in language nobody has to translate for you.

  • A written brief, not a dashboard to decode. One headline, a health grade, and the reasons behind it. Written for an 8th-grade reading level on purpose.
  • People, framed kindly and specifically. Who's thriving, who needs support, and one concrete thing to do about each — with their real numbers beside the words.
  • Actions you can actually take. Pair these two people. Approve a half-day for this cleanup. Ask for an update on that partnership. Never "improve code quality".
  • Risks before they become incidents. Security problems, single points of failure, and work that isn't landing — surfaced in business terms.
  • It's ready when you open it. Briefs are written in the background, so you never wait on a loading screen.

See your team's first brief

Every change read closely, with the receipts.

The Technical view is the full instrument: 12 dimensions per pull request, 24 engineering principles checked, and a quote from the diff behind every score you can click into.

  • An AI reviewer that knows your systems. Reviews carry your business context, what this repo is, what its neighbors are, the ticket the change served, and the surrounding code — not just the diff.
  • Skill inventory and trajectory per person. Strengths, gaps, and whether someone is climbing — from merged work, never from commit counts.
  • Delivery alignment. Whether the change actually did what the ticket asked, linked automatically even when nobody tagged it.
  • Monthly architecture reviews. A whole-repo read: layering, debt hotspots, dependency rot, security architecture.
  • Training built from your team's own PRs, runnable in a sandboxed editor — so feedback ends in practice, not a document.

How it works

Connected in minutes. Answers by tomorrow morning.

STEP 1

Connect GitHub — read-only

Install the GitHub App and choose exactly which repositories to analyze. Nothing is analyzed until you enable it, repo by repo. Revoke anytime in one click. Optionally connect Linear to tie code to the roadmap.

STEP 2

Tell it what your business does

A sentence about your company — or just your website, which it will read for you. Every review afterwards weighs findings against what actually matters to your business, not a generic app's.

STEP 3

Open the view that fits you

Executives land on the plain-English brief. Engineering leaders land on the full instrument. Switch anytime from your profile menu — same data underneath.

What you get

Everything in one platform — labelled so you know what's for you.

Executive brief

A written, plain-English read on team health, wins, risks and what to do next. Regenerated as the work changes, ready before you open it.

Executives · Managers

AI code review on every PR

A principal-engineer pass posted straight onto the pull request: material findings with tradeoffs, never style nitpicks.

Engineering · Developers

People insight

Per-person quality, business impact, trajectory and growth — with the evidence, so 1:1s and reviews write themselves.

Both

Delivery alignment

Did the change do what the ticket asked? Linked automatically from branches and commits, even when nobody tagged the issue.

Executives · Engineering

Architecture reviews

A recurring whole-repository read: layering, debt hotspots, dependency rot, security architecture — with a health score you can track.

Engineering

Training from your own code

Every weakness becomes a hands-on program generated from that developer's real pull requests, runnable in a sandbox.

Developers · Managers

Teams & fair visibility

Team-level rollups for leads, and a deliberate rule: praise is public, comparison is private. Members never see a leaderboard.

Managers · Developers

Monday digest

A short weekly email so the story reaches you even in the weeks nobody opens a dashboard.

Both

Spend you control

Every plan includes AI credits, with a hard cap you set. Analysis pauses rather than surprising you with an invoice.

Why teams switch

Velocity dashboards tell you how fast the wheels spin. Not whether the car is any good.

Velocity & DORA tools

  • Cycle time, deploy frequency, PR throughput
  • Treat a brilliant refactor and a copy-paste hack the same
  • Can't tell you who your strongest engineers actually are
  • Unreadable to anyone outside engineering
  • Coaching advice: "merge smaller PRs"

NRD Insight

  • Reads every diff — grades correctness, security, testing, API design and 8 more
  • Every score cites the exact lines of code as evidence
  • Skill inventory and growth trend per developer, per team
  • A plain-English executive view built for non-technical leaders
  • Coaching advice: a training program built from that engineer's own PRs
What we measure

Twelve dimensions of engineering craft. Zero vibes.

The rubric is fixed, versioned, and visible to your whole team — the same bar for everyone. Trivial changes (lockfiles, typos) are filtered out before they cost you anything. And we never rank on lines of code.

CorrectnessDoes it actually work, including the edges
TestingCoverage where it counts, not vanity %
SecurityInjection, authz, secrets, unsafe patterns
Error handlingFailures contained, propagated, logged
MaintainabilityWill the next person thank or curse them
ReadabilityNames, structure, intent on the page
PerformanceHot paths, N+1s, needless allocation
API designContracts a consumer can trust

Security & trust

Built like we expect your code to be built.

We ask for a lot of trust — read access to your source code. Here is exactly how we honor it.

Your code never leaves AWS

Analysis runs on Amazon Bedrock inside our AWS environment. Diffs are stored encrypted (KMS) in S3, transit is TLS everywhere, and your code is never used to train any model.

Read-only, revocable, minimal

The GitHub App requests read-only access to contents, pull requests, and metadata — nothing else. You choose the repos. Uninstalling revokes everything instantly.

Hard tenant isolation

Every row of your data is isolated with Postgres row-level security enforced at the database layer — not just application filters. Your data is invisible to any other customer, by construction.

Auditable, not oracular

Every score traces to a stored model response and a quoted diff. When a number surprises you, click through to the exact evidence — no black boxes.

Certified foundations

Runs entirely on AWS infrastructure holding SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS attestations. Payments are handled by Stripe — card data never touches our servers.

You stay in control

Hard monthly AI-spend caps you configure. Export or delete your data on request. A DPA is available for teams that need one.

Pricing

Priced per analyzed developer. Dashboards free for everyone.

A seat is a developer whose code we analyzed that month — executives, managers, and stakeholders are always free. Every plan includes AI-analysis credits; heavy months can opt in to overage at $0.05/credit, and you can cap spend so an invoice never surprises you.

Questions leaders ask us

The straight answers.

I'm not technical. Will I actually understand this?

That's what the Executive view is for. It's a written brief — a headline, a health grade, what's behind it, who needs support, and three to five things you could do about it — deliberately written without engineering jargon. It says "their changes often skip safety checks", not "low error-handling score". If a number appears, it's measured from the work, never invented by the AI.

Is our code used to train AI models?

No. Never. Analysis runs on Amazon Bedrock inside AWS, whose terms prohibit using your inputs to train models. Diffs are processed to produce your scores, stored encrypted for your own audit trail, and used for nothing else.

Will my engineers hate this?

The fastest way to make engineers hate measurement is to measure motion — commit counts, lines of code. We deliberately never rank on volume. Engineers get the same evidence leaders see, their own private growth view, and training built from their own code. The rubric is fixed and visible: the same bar for everyone, with receipts. Praise is public; comparison is private.

What exactly can you access?

Read-only: repository contents, pull requests, and metadata on only the repositories you enable. No write access of any kind, except posting a review comment on a pull request if you turn that on. Uninstalling the GitHub App severs access immediately.

How fast do we get value?

Connecting takes minutes and the first analysis lands overnight. Want to see it before connecting anything? Load the sample team on signup and walk the whole product with realistic data in about two minutes.

What counts as a paid seat?

Only a developer whose code we analyzed in that billing month. Everyone who just views dashboards — executives, managers, stakeholders — is free, and your invoice lists exactly which developers were counted.

Which languages do you support?

All of them. The rubric measures engineering judgment — correctness, testing, error handling, design — which the AI evaluates in any language or framework, informed by each repository's own conventions.

How do you keep AI costs from running away?

Trivial changes are filtered before any AI runs, every plan includes a generous credit allowance, and when it's exhausted analysis pauses (cheap git metrics keep flowing) until you opt in to overage or your period renews. You are structurally protected from surprise bills.
