Factory metrics
You might say: delivery measures, factory dashboard
The measures that show whether automated work flows, waits, fails, and recovers in a useful way. They connect agent output to delivery and review capacity.
- What it does
- Turns run and pull request history into evidence for throttle, staffing, gate, and task changes.
- Ask
- What moved faster, what failed, and where did a person have to wait?
What to look for
- A dashboard of merge, lead-time, failure, and queue readings
- A time series split by task type or trigger
- A review queue with age and volume
Parts
- Merge rate: The share of agent-assisted pull requests that merge during a stated period.
- Lead time: The elapsed time from a code commit to a successful production deployment.
- Change failure rate: The percentage of production deployments that cause a failure.
- Review queue: The count and age of pull requests waiting for an automated or human review.

measuring these factors over time gives teams a high-level understanding of their performance, regardless of their technology stack.

Reviewers simply could not keep pace with the volume, so code began merging unread, and that became normal.
