Devint
Methodology

How Devint turns data into a clear view of performance.

The DevScore combines automatic signals from the development workflow with leadership reviews, comparing each person against stable reference ranges — not against the best on the team. Weights and ranges are configurable: your company defines what it values, per role.

Scoring system

It all starts with a single view of performance

This is not an internal ranking: each person is read against healthy operating ranges. If the team improves, nobody ends up "in last place".

0 to 100

A single score scale, per person and per team. The dimensions explain where the number comes from.

6

Dimensions evaluated, each with its own weight and saturation ceiling.

15 days

Between closings: a trend reading, with no day-to-day micromanagement.

4 wks

Of full window in each closing, to reduce noise from atypical days.

Illustrative example: mid-level profile with a DevScore of 84 at closing.

See progress over time.

At each biweekly closing, the six dimensions form a hexagon: each vertex shows the position against the healthy range, from 0 to 100. The shape reveals consistency and room to grow before the final number. Other periods can be filtered as well.

Delivery paceHard skillsSoft skillsLogged hoursAI adoptionContribution
AI insight. Analyzes variations between closings and suggests causes and actions. It does not decide — it helps interpret, keeping the decision with leadership.
Anti-gaming cap. Above the range, extra volume does not score: commits, hours and tokens cannot buy a score.
A low score is a starting point for investigation. It may be a blocker, missing data or uncaptured work — never a verdict.
Human reviews with rigor. Manager and tech lead evaluate hard and soft skills. Self-assessment does not count.
Support, not surveillance. Improve the work and the management conversation, not police people.
Criteria

Behind the score, different dimensions reveal what is really going on

No single dimension defines productivity on its own: automatic signals show the period; leadership shows maturity. The weight of each one is configurable per role.

How often technical work becomes a reviewable delivery. A healthy pace reduces the risk of surprises; smaller, frequent deliveries make review and feedback easier.

Configurable weight

Technical contribution that leaves a material mark on the product: code that stays and structural changes, including useful removals during refactoring.

Configurable weight

Real adoption of AI tools in the workflow. It measures use, not value delivered — it should be read together with the other dimensions.

Configurable weight

Completeness of time tracking and predictability. Without reliable logging, capacity becomes opinion. Logging above the ceiling does not raise the score.

Configurable weight

Planning, execution and autonomy. Describes observed technical maturity — more stable than period metrics, it changes slowly.

Configurable weight

Communication, accountability, predictability and collaboration. It measures behavioral impact on how the team works, not likability.

Configurable weight

Junior

More weight on pace and hours: building cadence and routine.

Mid-level

Balanced distribution between delivery and maturity.

Senior

More weight on contribution and hard skills: depth over volume.

Because every role carries different expectations

What is expected of a junior is not what is expected of a senior: weights and ranges are configurable per level or job title, adding up to 100%. Companies accelerating AI adoption increase the weight of that dimension; those that need predictability, the weight of hours.

The charts alongside show an example configuration for each level. Use the arrows to compare.

Reference Ranges

And every result needs context to make sense

Each signal is read against a healthy range, with a floor and a ceiling, configurable per role. Reading parameters, not blind targets.

Below the rangeInsufficient signal: a blocker, missing data or uncaptured work.
Within the rangeThe score grows as the person advances through the healthy zone.
Above the rangeThe score saturates (cap). Extra volume does not score: cadence, not excess.

*The values above are a reference configuration. Each company adjusts the ranges by seniority level, contract type, working hours and nature of the work — with governance: adjustments apply only to upcoming closings, preserving closed history.
