Discover Your Team's DNA
6 automatic developer types based on real work patterns. See team composition with pie charts, auto-insights, and trend analysis. No surveys required.
The 6 Developer Types
Every developer gets classified into one type per period (monthly or quarterly)
Builder
High-volume delivery focused
Ships features fast with good focus. High commit volume, strong velocity, efficient work patterns. The team's feature delivery engine.
Architect
Technical leadership
Handles complex changes and large initiatives. Works on high-impact architectural decisions and mentors the team on technical challenges.
Reviewer
Code quality guardian
Heavy review load ensures team standards. Reviews more than writes, catches bugs early, and maintains code quality across the codebase.
Collaborator
Team glue
High knowledge sharing and broad communication. Elevates team dynamics, onboards new members, and facilitates cross-team initiatives.
Bug Fixer
Maintenance champion
Dedicated to bug resolution and maintenance. Keeps technical debt in check and ensures production stability.
Exploratory
Learning & experimenting
Onboarding, learning, or experimental work. Lower shipping rate while ramping up or exploring new approaches and technologies.

Think About It: Do You Know Your Team's DNA?
Try to answer right now: What % of your team builds features vs fixes bugs? Do you have enough reviewers? Are 3+ developers stuck onboarding?
Now imagine having these answers instantly. No guessing, no surveys, just real data from your team's actual work.
Balanced Team
Auto-Insight: Well-balanced composition with strong Builder capacity (40%), sufficient review coverage (20%), and healthy architectural guidance. Ideal for steady roadmap execution.
Best for: Mature SaaS product teams, steady roadmap execution
Technical Debt Crisis
Auto-Insight: CRITICAL: 35% Bug Fixers (way too high) and only 5% Reviewers (way too low). Immediate intervention needed. Recommend declaring a "quality sprint" - 2 weeks tech debt only, increase review capacity.
Best for: Teams in crisis mode
Onboarding Wave
Auto-Insight: 20% Exploratory indicates active onboarding. Velocity temporarily reduced. High Collaborator percentage (20%) is good for mentorship. Forecast: 3-6 months until Exploratory → Builder transition.
Best for: Teams rapidly hiring new engineers
Review Bottleneck
Auto-Insight: ALERT: 60% Builders but only 5% Reviewers creates a review bottleneck. PRs pile up waiting for reviews, slowing velocity despite high output. Recommend: Rotate 2 Builders into review duty for 1 month to build review capacity.
Best for: Fast-growing teams that hired many junior devs quickly
Innovation Sprint
Auto-Insight: High Architect percentage (30%) with lower Builder output indicates R&D or architectural refactoring phase. Expected during: major platform upgrades, new tech stack adoption, or architectural redesign. Velocity temporarily down but future velocity will increase.
Best for: Teams doing major refactors, platform upgrades, or POCs
Steady Maintenance
Auto-Insight: Balanced between new features (30% Builders) and maintenance (20% Bug Fixers). High review coverage (25%) ensures quality. Common for mature products with established customer base. Lower velocity than growth-stage teams but higher stability.
Best for: Mature products in maintenance mode, legacy system teams
Why Engineering Managers Love This
Real use cases from real teams
Balanced Team Composition
See if you have too many Builders and not enough Reviewers. Or 35% Bug Fixers (technical debt crisis). Build teams that work.
Smarter Hiring Decisions
Know what type you're missing. If your team has only 10% Reviewers for 10 people, you know you need more review capacity.
Better Task Assignment
Assign work based on natural strengths. Give complex challenges to Architects, new features to Builders, and quality work to Reviewers.
Career Development
Help developers grow by understanding their natural working style. A Builder who wants to become an Architect can track their progress over time.
