DevScore
Does Devint work for remote, hybrid and on-site teams?
Yes. The DevScore is built from data in the tools your team already uses plus structured evaluations from leadership, so it works the same way for remote, hybrid or on-site teams.
Are the performance criteria the same for every company?
No. Devint ships with an initial setup based on Espresso Labs' experience and on the analysis of thousands of technology teams, but every company can adjust weights, criteria and reference bands to fit its goals, culture and operating context. That way the DevScore reflects what actually matters to each organization.
Is the DevScore a competition between developers?
No. Devint compares each person against stable reference bands, not against their peers. When the whole team improves, the collective improvement shows up as collective improvement, without creating an artificial last place.
Can the score be gamed with artificial commits or hours?
Every metric has a healthy ceiling: above it, extra volume adds no points. The dimensions also cross-check each other, so inflating one signal does not improve technical evaluation, collaboration or real contribution, and manipulation tends to leave traces in review and feedback.
How does the DevScore handle different technologies and languages?
The DevScore evaluates work and performance patterns, not a specific language or technology. Metrics are read together with structured criteria and reference bands, so teams running different stacks are evaluated consistently.
Implementation
Do I need to change my current process or my team structure to use Devint?
No. Devint is built to fit the processes you already have. The platform connects to the tools your company uses and lets you configure criteria and weights to match how the team works, with no changes to the organizational structure.
How long does it take to implement Devint at my company?
Implementation time depends on the integrations and on the company's structure. The whole process is guided by the Devint team, which sets up the integrations, calibrates the evaluation criteria and adapts the platform to the organization's reality so the DevScore represents team performance correctly.
Can small companies use Devint too?
Yes. Devint works for companies of any size. Because criteria, weights and integrations are configurable, the platform adapts to smaller teams as well as to organizations with multiple squads.
Integrations and security
Which tools can Devint integrate with?
Devint integrates version control, project management and time tracking platforms, plus AI tools used in the development flow. These include GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, time tracking tools, OpenAI, Claude and other compatible solutions.
What if my company uses tools other than the available integrations?
Every implementation is reviewed individually. The Devint team assesses the tools your company uses and identifies the best integration alternatives so the platform represents your organization's workflow as completely as possible.
Does Devint access the company's source code?
Devint uses only the information needed to generate performance indicators, through the integrations your company authorizes. The goal is to analyze signals from the development process, without exposing or using source code as evaluation content.
Management
Does the DevScore replace leadership evaluation?
No. The DevScore is a decision-support tool. It brings objective data and structured evaluations together into a single indicator to make performance conversations clearer, but leadership still interprets the results and drives people's development.
Does Devint replace performance management tools (IDP, 1:1s and performance reviews)?
No. Devint complements those practices by giving development conversations an objective baseline. The DevScore helps managers spot trends, opportunities and areas that need attention, making IDPs, 1:1s and performance reviews more consistent and grounded in data.
