Resilience
Automated Risk Scoring & Resilience Coverage
PRs are scored for their likelihood of introducing a bug and then measured for resilience relative to the risk. This informs which mitigations are needed to meet resilience coverage targets. Devs get a clear metric to hit and credit for doing the right thing.

Hotspots
Use empirical customer pain to tackle tech debt
Bugs are a relatable proxy for customer pain. Stakeholders outside engineering don’t easily grok code smells and anti-patterns. Shepherdly tracks your hottest files from a bug fixing perspective so you can target the most problematic modules first.
