Engineering Intelligence Assessment

“Where does our delivery actually get stuck — and what are the three changes worth making?”

The facts
Duration

4 weeks

Four weeks of work, kickoff to readout, starting once data access is in place.

Price

CHF 18–25k (estimate)

An indicative estimate. The final figure depends on the number of teams and repositories in scope, and is agreed with you before we start.

Built for

30–300 engineers

Organisations large enough that delivery performance has become a question nobody can answer from memory.

The trigger

“I can't answer how fast we ship, or where it gets stuck.”

If you can already answer that with data you trust, you do not need this.

The method

Four weeks, in the open.

Week 1 Baseline Connect to GitLab, CI and the issue tracker. Establish the delivery-performance baseline — DORA metrics plus the queue and wait time underneath them.
Week 2 Interviews Talk to the people who live in the system: engineers, leads, release and risk. The data says where time goes; the interviews say why.
Week 3 Bottleneck analysis Separate the constraints that actually bind from the ones that merely annoy. Size the cost of each in time, not in opinion.
Week 4 Readout Present the baseline, the analysis and three prioritised changes with effort and impact. Hand over the dashboard your team keeps running.
What you keep

Four things, all of them yours.

Baseline

A delivery-performance baseline you can re-run — the number you measure against next quarter, not a slide.

Analysis

Where the time actually goes, with the queue and wait time separated from the work.

Dashboard

A working dashboard your team keeps and maintains after I leave. No dependency on me to see your own numbers.

Three changes

Prioritised, with effort and impact estimated for each. Enough detail that your team can start on Monday.

Out of scope

What this is not.

  • Implementation. The assessment ends with a prioritised plan; building it is a separate engagement, and you are free to do it yourselves or with anyone else.
  • A tooling procurement exercise. If the finding is that your tools are fine and your review process is not, that is what the readout will say.
  • A team performance review. This measures the delivery system, not individuals, and the readout names no names.
  • A compliance audit. Supply chain controls come up, but this is not an ISO or regulatory assessment.
Next step

Worth a conversation?

Thirty minutes is usually enough to tell whether an assessment would find anything you don't already know. If it wouldn't, I'll say so.
