For VPs of engineering and CTOs
See where time and risk go, before you change anything.
Continuumship reads how your teams really ship and shows where work waits, and on whom — by team and by Area, never by person. Model spend is recorded per work item, under budgets you set.
What you tell us
The board asks three questions.
-
“What are the agents actually doing?”
Engineers use agents every day. You cannot say what an agent did, under whose approval, or against which requirement.
-
“Where does the time go?”
Lead time is one number on a dashboard. Whether it went on building, on waiting for review or on waiting for a decision, nobody can show you.
-
“What is the model bill buying?”
Spend arrives as one invoice a month. Which team, which Area, which work item — the invoice does not say.
How Continuumship answers
Figures from your own work, with their coverage.
Where time and risk go
Active time against waiting time, by stage, with the kind of party each item waited on. Every figure carries the number of cases it rests on.
- By team and Area, never by person
- Observed figures labelled and kept apart
The adoption report
The process as it is, what your target process would have asked of it, and the repeated work an agent or a rule could take on — counted per month, with the items behind it.
- What is unknown, in a section of its own
- A baseline frozen before anything is turned on
Model spend per work item
Every run records what it used, as your runners and providers report it, attributed to a work item, an Area and a step. A budget stops the run that would break it.
- Budgets per Area, per template, per work item
- A cost labelled an estimate until it is reported
How to start
A decision in thirty days, on one Area.
Nothing changes in your systems while it runs. At the end you have the report, the evidence behind it, and a choice of the first automations to turn on.
-
Week 0 · Connect
Connect the tracker, the code host, your pipelines and one observability source with read-only scopes. Map one team to an Area.
-
Week 1 · History and discovery
History is read back. Where time goes appears, and the process the team really follows is discovered.
-
Week 2 · Confirm and shadow
The team's lead confirms the discovered flow. The process you want, and its guardrails, go into shadow.
-
Weeks 3–4 · Shadow on live work
Shadow evaluation runs on live work. We read the adoption report together, and you decide the next rung.
Questions engineering leaders ask
Will it tell us how much faster we get?
What does it replace?
Do we have to adopt it everywhere at once?
