The CRM screens I use
- Platform health cockpit — deploys, errors, latency, cost per request
- Deploy + schema review gate — every migration and same-day deploy
- Doer coaching queue — override rate on all agent cards, coaching notes
- Doctrine + engineering discipline steward — version diff + amendment queue
- Chain-hash + activity_ledger integrity — daily green/red
- Consecutive clean build streak + incident post-mortems
My KPIs (every one is linked to the FY31 trajectory)
| KPI | Target | Anchored to (financial source-of-truth) |
|---|---|---|
| Consecutive clean builds | ≥ 50 (currently 26) | CI/CD principles §2 |
| Deploy success rate (30d) | ≥ 99% | CI/CD principles §2 |
| p95 latency | < 200ms | ENTERPRISE_ARCHITECTURE.md NFRs |
| 5xx error rate (24h) | < 0.1% | ENTERPRISE_ARCHITECTURE.md NFRs |
| Cost per 1k requests | < $0.15 | runway watch |
| Chain-hash integrity | GREEN daily | ENGINEERING_DISCIPLINE.md §1.1 |
CTO opens the platform cockpit Monday morning. 26 consecutive clean builds. p95 latency 178ms. Zero incidents overnight. [email protected] has already reconciled the daily health and drafted the Friday coaching digest. One doctrine amendment candidate queued for SteerCo. Ratifies migration 0037 as Tier 2 additive. Wednesday, the streak hits 30 with no rollbacks.
CTO is the last to know about a 5xx spike because nobody reads the daily health report. A migration widening unilateral_decisions via UPDATE slips through because grep-verify was skipped. Chain-hash integrity broken silently — regulator letter arrives before it is caught. Doer override rate rising on multiple cards, uncoached.
