Where delivery stands
What changed this week, what it cost, and whether the plan still holds.
- Say/do ratio across the teams
- Cost of change as a share of capacity
- Requests and pivots, and who asked
- Time blocked, and on whom
QuxPulse · by DevQux
Know where delivery stands, without the status meeting.
Delivery pulse for startup leadership. QuxPulse turns stand-ups, leadership requests, pivots and requirement changes into numbers, puts them beside Linear and GitHub, and gives leadership, product and engineering each a view and a report of their own.
Download QuxPulse Desktop for Mac or Windows, the companion that brings in mail, meetings and reviews. It needs a QuxPulse account.
Why it exists
The week’s changes, counted.
Every startup ships against a plan that moves daily. A founder’s request on Tuesday, a pivot on Wednesday, a requirement that changed after the work was half done.
Nobody is wrong, and by Friday nobody can say what it cost. QuxPulse writes it down the day it happens and turns it into numbers everyone reads the same way.
Three views
One record, three ways to read it.
Each person lands on the view for their role, and every role can open every view. Each has a report you can print.
Scope and churn
Requirement churn, sprint scope, and what is waiting on product.
- Requirement changes, their source and how late they landed
- Sprint scope added and removed
- Requests waiting for a decision
- Blockers waiting on product
How the days are running
Today’s commitments, the blockers, and how the days are running.
- The daily log: commitments, and whether yesterday’s were met
- Blockers and who they wait on
- Tickets completed and cycle time
- Pull requests merged and time to merge
Views and reports are team-level and never name an engineer. Stand-up input is per person; what comes out is about the team.
How the numbers are defined
Every number has one definition.
Written down, the same in every view and every report, so a meeting argues about what to do, not about what the number means.
- 01
Say/do ratio
Of the stand-up commitments since resolved, the share completed. Counted by the day the commitment was planned for. A missed commitment that is carried over becomes a new commitment for the next day.
The daily log - 02
Cost of change
Engineer-days added plus engineer-days of finished work invalidated, from the estimates on requests and requirement changes. Once a request has requirement changes filed under it, the changes are counted and the request’s own estimate is not. Shown as a share of capacity (active engineers × elapsed workdays).
Requests, pivots and requirement changes - 03
Time blocked
Workdays from the day a blocker is raised up to the day it is resolved, summed over blockers.
The daily log - 04
Sprint scope added and removed
A ticket counts as added when it joins a sprint after the sprint’s first day and before it ends; removed when it leaves in that same window. First-day planning and end-of-sprint rollover are not counted.
Linear issue history - 05
Tickets, pull requests and their times
Tickets completed and cycle time come from Linear; pull requests merged and time to merge from GitHub, bots excluded. Once people have a Linear name and GitHub login, these are scoped to the roster.
Linear and GitHub - 06
Who counts
A person is matched to activity by GitHub login and by Linear email or name. An entry that matches nothing is flagged, and the views carry a warning while it is, because that person’s work would otherwise be silently missing.
The roster
QuxPulse Desktop
A desktop companion for what only your computer can reach.
The web app is the record. The desktop app, for Mac and Windows, adds what lives on one person’s computer and sends it up. Linear and GitHub sync on our servers, so nobody has to leave a laptop open for the numbers to move.
QuxPulse Desktop needs a QuxPulse account: start a free trial first, then sign in from the app.
Outlook mail
Stand-up notes and each department’s weekly update, matched by rules you keep on your computer. Only matched mail is sent.
Meetings
Teams transcripts and Granola notes, summarised into decisions and asks of engineering, each one loggable as a request, pivot or requirement change.
Pull request reviews
A reviewer on your computer drafts reviews with your own GitHub sign-in; every decision, posted or dismissed, joins the workspace’s decision log.
Security
Built so the numbers stay yours.
Delivery data says a lot about a company. These are the rules the product is built on.
Each workspace walled off in the database
Every table runs under forced row-level security, so a query that strays outside its workspace returns nothing rather than someone else’s rows.
Team-level, never a league table
Views and reports never name an engineer. One person’s stand-up is readable by that person and the workspace’s admins, and nobody else.
One set of rights
Owners and admins run the workspace; a person’s role decides what else they log and read. The rule is written once and every page checks it.
A desktop that holds no password
QuxPulse Desktop signs in through your browser (PKCE), keeps its token in the macOS keychain or Windows Credential Manager rather than a file, and any device can be revoked from Settings.
Summaries made on our servers
Meeting summaries run on Cloudflare Workers AI, server side. Only mail that matches your own rules leaves the computer.
Pricing
Priced per user, like the rest of your stack.
