Show leadership what the agents changed, red rows included.
KaaS Pulse joins your delivery metrics with agent spend and eval results. Leadership gets one quarterly report on what AI changed in how you ship, red rows included.
Run by the founder, a former Head of Software Engineering.

Red rows that stay red. A row that got worse stays in, with the next change named.
Why nobody can prove the agents paid off
Leadership hears opinions about the agents and sees no rows to check them against.
Speed gets measured where it does not matter. Lines written and prompts sent go up. The release date doesn’t move, and leadership notices.
Spend and delivery live in different places. The bill sits with finance, the deploys sit in the pipeline, and nobody joins the two.
The report only shows what went well. So leadership discounts all of it, the real gains included.
KaaS Pulse joins spend and delivery in one quarterly report that keeps every row, the ones that got worse included.
What leadership gets each quarter
Three sources you already own feed one report. Nobody fills in a survey or logs hours.
Your pipeline and repoReleases, lead time, failed changes, recovery, review wait
Your gateway logAgent spend by team, model and shipped change
Your checksEval results for prompts and agents
One quarterly reportAcme Inc
- One report leadership reads in one sitting.Every row has a direction, what happened and what changes next.
- Agent spend next to what shipped.Spend per shipped change sits beside the delivery rows, read from your gateway log.
- Red rows that stay red.A row that got worse stays in, with the next change named.
- Numbers from tools you already run.Releases, lead time, failed changes, recovery and review wait come from your pipeline and repo. Eval results come from your checks.
Leadership sees what the agents changed each quarter.
Every row that got worse stays on the page.
How KaaS Pulse goes in
We set it up with your leads and run the first quarters together. The pipeline and every report stay with you.
We take a baseline from your own history before anything changes.
Each quarter we walk the report with your leads and agree what changes next.
Your team learns to run the report and read every row without us.
“You work with the person who does the work. No handoff, no juniors, no account manager.”

Questions teams ask before they book
What are DORA metrics?
DORA metrics are four measures of software delivery: how often you deploy, how long a change takes to reach production, how often changes fail, and how fast you recover. KaaS Pulse reads them from your own pipeline and adds review wait and agent spend.
How do you measure AI developer productivity?
Measure delivery: releases, lead time and failures. KaaS Pulse compares them against a baseline taken before the change, and joins in what the agents cost.
How do we prove ROI on AI coding tools?
Put what the agents cost next to what shipped. The quarterly report shows agent spend per shipped change beside the delivery rows, so leadership sees the return and where there is none yet.
Why does the report keep the red rows?
Because a report with only green rows isn’t believed. A row that got worse stays in, with what we change next.
Which engineering metrics should leadership see?
A short set they can act on: release frequency, ticket to release time, review wait, failed changes, recovery time and spend per change. The report keeps to those.
Where does the data come from?
From your pipeline, your repo, your gateway log and your checks. It stays in your cloud.
Who is KaaS Pulse for?
Teams whose leadership asks what the agent licences returned, who can’t say whether releases got faster, and who want a report that admits what did not work.
Who is KaaS Pulse not for?
Anyone who wants to rank individual engineers; this report is about teams. Teams with no deploy pipeline to read from yet.
What stays with us?
pulse/report-q2.pdf, every quarter’s report with red rows included. pulse/definitions.md, what each row measures so it means the same next year. pulse/pipeline/, the job that builds the report in your cloud.
How does it fit with the other KaaS solutions?
KaaS Pulse is the Release stop of the five KaaS solutions. See how all five fit together.
What is fixed before we start
Fit check first. If we're not the right team, we'll say so on the call.
You get a written scope and a fixed quote before anything starts.
Everything we install stays in your cloud and your repo when we finish.
The Care Plan is optional, and stopping it changes nothing that already works.
The report keeps every red row, so you see where the work did not help.
Bring us the bottleneck.
