Born from the practice of people who build software every day.
Devint is a product by Espresso Labs. Before reaching the market, it was the internal answer of a studio that builds software at scale to a hard question: how do you measure tech team productivity without turning metrics into judgment?
A product by Espresso Labs.
Espresso Labs builds software at scale: thousands of digital products already built and delivered — applications, platforms and systems for companies of every size and industry.
Running many teams at the same time creates a problem few companies face at this intensity: understanding, with clear criteria, how each team and each person is performing — without relying on impressions and without creating a culture of surveillance.
The DevScore was born from that real need. It was designed, tested and refined inside Espresso Labs' own operation, closing cycle after closing cycle, before becoming a product. Devint is that method, opened to the market.
- Simultaneous teams, across dozens of different stacks and contexts
- Continuous cycles of delivery, review and operation for years
- A measurement method distilled from all that experience
What that experience taught us.
Every choice in Devint — the six dimensions, the reference ranges, the saturation ceiling — comes from patterns observed in practice, delivery cycle after delivery cycle.
Patterns observed in practice
Thousands of delivered projects helped show what healthy teams tend to have in common: delivery cadence, contribution that lasts, consistent time tracking. The DevScore reference ranges come from that observation.
Tested in-house first
Every dimension, weight and range ran on Espresso Labs' own teams before reaching any customer. Whatever did not help the management conversation was cut; whatever created artificial incentives was capped with a ceiling.
Built for real operations
People who ship software every day have no time for a new ceremony. Devint plugs into the flow that already exists — repositories, time tracking, leadership reviews — and organizes evidence, not rituals.
From operation to product.
The scale
Thousands of products delivered and many teams running in parallel raised an honest question: how do we know, with clear criteria, whether we are performing well?
The method
The DevScore is created for internal use: six dimensions, reference ranges and biweekly closings, refined cycle after cycle in our own operation.
The product
The method becomes a platform and reaches the market as Devint — so that teams of any size can measure productivity with clear criteria, adapting weights and ranges to their own reality.
But who is behind the product?
“We measure because we build — and by building, we learned how much difference a healthy team makes.”
