Engineering Pulse
Pull-only health and category boards — not a performance review. Every engineer sees every score.

Why is my score X — Marcus Cantu

VP of Engineering. Scores use versioned weights and the size-adjustment curve. Time zone and working hours are not inputs.

Review Responsiveness — 66

For each PR, score = 100 - 10*(actual/expected) when first non-author response is within the size-adjusted window, otherwise 100 * expected/actual. Category average is then normalized to the rolling org distribution (mean/stddev). Formal review completion and merge time are tracked separately; only first response drives this category.

{
  "samples": 6,
  "medianHours": 0.8319444444444445,
  "raw": 92.29,
  "weight": 1
}

Standup Consistency — 63

Weekday completion rate from Geekbot timestamps only (no response content). A day counts complete if a report exists for that person on that UTC date. Time of day is ignored so time zones are not penalized.

{
  "expectedWeekdays": 130,
  "completed": 92,
  "raw": 70.77,
  "weight": 1
}

Release Quality / SDLC Compliance — 43

Average of: merged-PR checklist completion, required-check pass rate, Dev-Tested confirmation rate (PR checkbox/comment or Linear comment/label, first event wins), and QA-Verified rate before Done.

{
  "merged": 56,
  "raw": 45,
  "weight": 1
}

Bug Trend — 62

Inverted slackbug + internal bug open counts relative to org mean. Numeric/display/export issues are shown as a zero-tolerance line and included in the inverted count. Lower volume scores higher.

{
  "bugs": 3,
  "raw": 85,
  "weight": 1
}

Collaboration Breadth proxy — 40

PROXY: unique authors reviewed + share of reviews that are cross-team, using comment-length/code-reference heuristics only as a depth caveat — not a precision metric. Normalized to org.

{
  "uniqueAuthorsPlusCrossTeam": 66,
  "raw": 66,
  "weight": 1
}

PR Turnaround Tiers — 51

Share of PRs whose unmerged (or until-merge) business-day age is on track (≤1), with partial credit for slow (2–5) and none for extremely slow (6+).

{
  "onTrack": 44,
  "slow": 10,
  "extremelySlow": 2,
  "raw": 85.71,
  "weight": 1
}

Sprint Predictability — —

Average of planned-vs-completed story point rate and (1 - carryover rate) across cycles intersecting the selected window.

{
  "cycles": 0,
  "raw": null,
  "weight": 1
}
