Advisory
Know exactly how healthy your engineering is.
Deckgauge shows you the numbers. The Engineering Health Check tells you what they mean and what to do next: a fractional CTO reads your dashboard and hands you a one-page assessment plus your top three fixes. No new tools, no quarter-long audit — it runs on the data Deckgauge already collects.
A real read on your delivery — in a week, not a quarter.
A 1-page engineering health report
Where your delivery stands today — read from your own Deckgauge dashboard, not a generic questionnaire.
Your DORA & flow, interpreted
What your deployment frequency, lead time, change-failure rate, and WIP actually mean for your team, in plain language.
Top 3 bottlenecks + fixes
The specific things slowing delivery, ranked, each with a concrete first action you can take this quarter.
A roadmap & staffing sanity check
Whether your roadmap, team shape, and where effort is going line up with where the business needs to go.
Four steps.
1. Run Deckgauge (free)
Install the open-source platform and connect Jira, GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps. It builds the picture automatically.
2. We read your dashboard
A CodPal fractional CTO reviews your metrics, roadmap, and delivery signals — the data you already have.
3. You get the report
A clear health assessment and a prioritized fix list, walked through live with you.
4. Go further, if you want
Turn the fixes into an ongoing fractional-CTO engagement — or take the report and run with it yourself.
Built by people who do this for a living.
Deckgauge is built and maintained by CodPal, a fractional CTO-as-a-service firm for startups and scale-ups. We built the platform to run our own engagements — the same dashboards we use to turn around delivery for clients are the ones you get for free. The Health Check is simply the first hour of that expertise, pointed at your data.
