Output vs. spend
This week
spike /spʌɪk/ — a sharp rise worth investigating.
Works with the frontier
Integrations
What you finally get to see
01 · ROI, observable
Watch cost move against velocity and shipped work, week over week — so you know whether engineers are getting faster, the roadmap is getting closer, and every dollar of agent spend is earning its place.
Open the threads ledger02 · Performance, in context
See which tools each engineer reaches for, on which projects, and how much leverage they get — so reviews and calibration rest on evidence, not anecdotes.
03 · Spend, governed
Surface usage that falls outside sanctioned work before it compounds — company keys on side projects, drift across teams, tools no one is tracking.
Attribution engine
Scattered agent activity collapses into spend you can actually read — resolved by engineer, project, and model, and classified by the kind of work it was: feature, fix, refactor, or spike.
How it works
A local collector logs each run — model, tokens, cost, repo. Metadata only; prompts never leave the machine.
Every thread is tied to an engineer, a project, and the PR or issue it actually moved.
A persona-scoped standup — spend, velocity, and what shipped — ready before the meeting starts.
Privacy is the default. spikes captures metadata only — model, tokens, cost, repo. Raw prompts and responses never leave your machines.
