Engineering Spend

Justify every engineering dollar, including AI

Finance wants capitalization reports and the board wants AI ROI, and spreadsheets can't keep up with either. LinearB turns Git and project data into capitalization, allocation and cost-per-PR numbers you can put in front of executives.

Trusted by the teams transforming software delivery

What your software factory is doing to your engineers

AI shifted engineers from writing code to reviewing it. Learn to read the strain signals in your own engineering data - before they show up as attrition.

Software Capitalization

Automate capitalization reports from Git data

LinearB calculates FTE effort per epic from Git and project activity and flags which work is capitalizable, so finance gets audit-ready capitalization reports without engineers filling in timesheets.

Resource Allocation

Show where engineering time and budget actually go

Resource allocation breaks engineering effort down by initiative, issue type and team in FTEs, so you can show leadership how much capacity goes to new features versus maintenance, and back tooling and headcount decisions with data.

Cost Per Effective PR

Measure what a delivered pull request actually costs

Cost per effective PR divides your total engineering cost, people and AI combined, by your effective PRs, pull requests merged with your rework rate discounted out. Track it as a trend to see cost fall while effective PRs rise.

Total Value Gained

See the total value your AI investment has returned

The AI ROI dashboard takes the drop in your cost per effective PR between two periods and multiplies that saving across the PRs you delivered. Total value gained is the one number you can put in front of your executive team.

LinearB provides the core of our engineering productivity metrics for the entire organization. Equally critical to our business, LinearB provides estimation and attribution of developer efforts (FTE per feature) allowing us to report on and manage development costs.
