A co-development partnership for software & SaaS engineering leaders

Tell us what would transform your engineering floor. We'll build it — at our cost.

You already know us for time-tracking and monitoring. Now we'll build an AI-native operating platform around how your team actually ships — deep-work time, sprint throughput, capacity and delivery health — to your spec. You run it free in production for six months. No cost, no obligation.

Free to run for six months — the kind of platform that's normally a major build.

The number that moves everything

Engineering focus & throughput

The real unit of waste isn't headcount — it's how much of each paid engineering hour turns into uninterrupted, shipped work versus context-switching, meetings, blocked tickets and rework.

Higher
uninterrupted deep-work hours per engineer
Faster
cycle time from ticket start to merged
Lower
rework and escaped-defect rate

Why us

You already know us as Time Champ

You already run Time Champ for time-tracking and monitoring, so you know we measure how engineering hours are actually spent. Turning that signal into a production-grade operating platform — deep-work protection, sprint forecasting, capacity planning, delivery-health scoring, all wired into your Git, CI and issue tracker — is a full-time product discipline. It's the kind of internal tooling every engineering org wishes it had time to build and never does, because the roadmap always wins. That build is our job, not yours. You bring the requirements and the floor; we bring the engineering and carry the cost. The platform doesn't exist yet — we build it with you, around the way your team already works.

The offer

An honest trade — no catch

Here's exactly what each side gets. We're not giving software away; we're building a product with a real operation, and you get the first and best of it.

What you get

  • The platform built to your workflows, at our cost
  • Six months of free use, live in production
  • Comparable to a ~₹50 lakh custom build
  • A 6–12 month lead before anyone else has it
  • Preferential founding-customer pricing
  • No obligation to continue

What we get

  • Deep domain knowledge from a real operation
  • A platform proven on a live floor
  • If it earns it — a reference for the market

What we'll build

One product, built around your floor

Not a phased wishlist — one platform, with every module your operation runs on, designed to your workflows. Here's what's inside it.

A note on AI. Wherever you see the AI tag below, it marks a specific job — reading a file, scoring an account, predicting an action. No buzzwords; each line says exactly what the model does, and modules that don't use AI don't carry the tag.

Deep-work & focus protection

Defend the hours that actually ship code

Focus-block detection
Classify each engineer's day into deep-work, collaboration, comms and idle from real app and tool activity.
AIModels activity streams to label genuine focus blocks vs. shallow context-switching, per person.
Interruption & context-switch index
Quantify how often a developer is pulled off-task and what it costs in recovered focus time.
Meeting-load accounting
Surface calendar load per engineer and per squad, flag the days with zero contiguous focus time.
Fragmentation alerts
Warn leads when an IC's week has collapsed into 20-minute slices with no maker time left.
Focus trend by squad
Track deep-work hours per engineer week over week against delivery output.
Value add: Stop measuring seat-time and start protecting the uninterrupted blocks where real engineering happens.

Sprint throughput & delivery flow

From committed to merged, measured honestly

Cycle-time breakdown
Split lead time into coding, review-wait, QA and deploy stages to find where tickets stall.
Throughput & WIP tracking
Count merged work per sprint and flag when work-in-progress exceeds healthy limits.
Sprint completion forecast
Predict end-of-sprint carryover early from current burn and historical team velocity.
AIForecasts sprint carryover mid-sprint from burn rate and per-squad velocity history.
Blocked-ticket aging
Track how long items sit in blocked or review-wait and who owns the unblock.
Scope-creep flag
Detect tickets added or re-pointed after sprint start and attribute the spillover.
Value add: Replace gut-feel velocity with flow metrics tied to what actually merged and shipped.

Code review & PR health

Where merged work waits and rots

Review-wait time
Measure hours a PR sits before first review and before merge, by author and reviewer.
Reviewer load balancing
Show who's carrying the review burden and where requests pile on one or two people.
PR size & risk scoring
Flag oversized or sprawling PRs that correlate with slow review and escaped defects.
AIScores each PR's risk from size, files touched and historical defect linkage.
Stale-PR sweeps
Auto-surface PRs open past an SLA so nothing dies silently in the queue.
Value add: Review latency is invisible drag on throughput — make it a managed queue, not a black hole.

Capacity & resource planning

Know real capacity before you commit

Available-capacity model
Net focus hours per engineer after meetings, on-call, leave and support rotations.
Allocation vs. plan
Compare where engineering time actually went against the roadmap split you intended.
Cross-project context-switch cost
Quantify the tax on engineers split across two or more concurrent initiatives.
Hiring-need signal
Flag squads chronically over committed capacity for several sprints running.
Billable vs. internal split
For services and dual-mode teams, separate client-billable build time from internal work.
Value add: Plan commitments against true available focus capacity, not nominal headcount.

Workforce intelligence & monitoring

What every paid hour was spent on

App & tool usage
Time-on-tool across IDE, terminal, browser, docs and comms, rolled up by role.
Productive vs. idle classification
Tag activity as productive, neutral or idle against role-specific tool profiles.
AILearns each role's productive tool mix and scores time against it instead of a static list.
Tool-spend reconciliation
Match SaaS license seats to actual usage and surface paid-for tools nobody opens.
Configurable privacy modes
Aggregate-only, no-keystroke and team-level views to fit your engineering culture.
Value add: The activity ground-truth the whole platform builds on — privacy-respecting and configurable.

Quality, QA & delivery reliability

Catch rework before customers do

Escaped-defect tracking
Trace production bugs back to the sprint, squad and change that introduced them.
Rework rate
Measure churn — code rewritten or reverted shortly after merge — as a quality signal.
CI/CD health
Track build pass rate, flaky tests and deploy frequency alongside delivery flow.
Regression-risk flag
Highlight changes in historically fragile modules that warrant deeper review.
AIPredicts regression risk per change from file-level defect history and churn.
Value add: Tie quality signals back to throughput so speed never quietly buys you a defect backlog.

Performance management (PMS)

Reviews grounded in real output

Contribution dashboards
Per-engineer view blending delivery, review participation and focus over a full cycle.
Goal & OKR tracking
Tie individual and squad objectives to the delivery metrics that evidence them.
Outlier surfacing
Flag both quiet high-contributors and sustained overload before review season.
Calibrated review inputs
Feed managers consistent, comparable signals so calibration isn't guesswork.
Value add: Give managers an evidence base for growth conversations instead of recency bias.

Onboarding, SOPs & enablement

Cut time-to-first-merge for new hires

Ramp tracking
Measure days to first merge, first solo ticket and steady-state throughput per new hire.
Runbooks & SOP library
Versioned setup, on-call and deploy runbooks linked to the work they govern.
Stuck-onboarding alerts
Flag new engineers whose ramp curve has flattened so a mentor can step in.
Skill & coverage map
See which engineers can safely own which services and where bus-factor is one.
Value add: Make ramp-up a measured process, not a hope, and keep tribal knowledge out of people's heads.

Attendance, access & credentials

Coverage, shrinkage and clean access

On-call & coverage
Track rotation coverage, after-hours load and time-zone gaps across distributed teams.
Attendance & shrinkage
Reconcile planned vs. actual available time across leave, holidays and unplanned absence.
Credential & seat management
Map who holds access to which repos, environments and SaaS tools; flag dormant access.
AIFlags risky or unused access from login patterns and inactivity windows.
Offboarding checklist
Drive a clean, auditable revocation of repo, cloud and tool access on departure.
Value add: Keep the operational hygiene tight without turning engineers into timesheet clerks.

How the six months works

From scope to decision, on a fixed cadence

1

Scope · weeks 1–2

You name the priorities; we lock the success criteria together.

2

Build · months 1–4

We engineer; you review on a fixed cadence with your SMEs.

3

Run · months 4–6

Live on your floor, measured against the criteria we agreed.

4

Decide · month 6

Continue on founding terms, or walk away owing nothing.

What we need from you: a named champion, a few SMEs, and honest feedback. That's the whole ask.

Your protections

The guardrails, in writing

You own your process IP

Your proprietary workflows stay yours and are never productised.

Clear licensing

We own the platform; you get free use through the pilot.

Your data stays yours

SOC 2 and ISO 27001-aligned data handling, with role-scoped access, configurable privacy modes and full audit logging — your code, repos and engineering metrics stay yours.

No obligation

If it doesn't earn its place, you walk away owing nothing.
