Evaluating Engineering Work Against Written Role Expectations

Writing a job description takes a few hours. Knowing if a developer actually works according to that description usually takes months.

Most founders write a role expectation, hand it off, and then rely on status updates to gauge if the person is doing the job. You get told things are on track. You see a sea of green checkmarks on a project board. You have no independent way to verify if the daily output matches the original mandate.

We just released an update to change this dynamic. 🚀

Assessable Role Baselines

Solidmatics now uses a team member's specific role description as an active baseline for their performance.

Previously, our system used role descriptions to understand the general shape of your team. Now, it treats those words as a hard standard. You define the core focus, the performance bar, and the red flags for a specific role in plain English. Keep it short and specific.

Our agent then checks daily activity directly against those exact rules. It reviews commits, pull requests, tickets, and written replies. If a team member strays from their core mandate or misses the bar, the system explicitly points out the gap.

Every observation is grounded in real signals. The system never guesses. It simply compares what you asked for against the tangible work produced. 📊

Meaning Over Motion

This release reinforces our primary focus. We refuse to count lines of code. AI code generation broke the old activity metrics completely.

We look for meaning. The system answers a fundamental question for engineering leaders and non-technical founders. Is this person actually delivering what you hired them to do?

You set the expectation. The agent measures the reality. The morning read tells you exactly who is meeting the bar and who went quiet. 🧭

Stop relying on hope and status reports. See what your engineering team is really building. ⚖️
