Key insight: Teams spend thousands on faster CI hardware when fixing 3-4 chronically flaky tests would reclaim 20% of pipeline time — but they can't see which tests those are without building their own analytics.

The Problem

Engineering teams waste 10-15% of CI time re-running failed tests that pass on retry (flaky tests), but most teams have no systematic way to find, measure, or prioritize fixing them. Test logs get buried in CI history, making it impossible to distinguish real failures from noise.

Target Audience

Engineering leads and DevOps engineers at startups and mid-market companies (50-500 engineers) using GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or GitLab CI

Why Now?

CI/CD infrastructure is now standardized enough that flake detection can be bolted on as a thin layer; teams are increasingly frustrated with wasted CI spend post-2024 as cloud costs rise
