BUSINESS LEADERS
Direct engineering investment with better evidence.
Your engineering team is a significant investment.
Code Tuner helps business and technology leaders understand where the condition of their software justifies engineering attention — and where capacity can remain focused on new value.
Bring visibility to a major business asset.
Software can become a significant operational and financial blind spot.
Increasing complexity and technical debt can contribute to slower delivery, greater development effort, unexpected redevelopment and increasing maintenance demands.
Code Tuner analyses the underlying software and makes its condition easier to understand at a leadership level.
Turn codebase health into an investment decision.
Code Tuner provides evidence to support decisions across four areas.
Engineering expenditure
Understand where additional technical investment may be justified.
Roadmap capacity
See where underlying software conditions may compete with new development.
Modernisation
Identify areas that warrant closer investigation before committing to broader redevelopment.
Technical risk
Add another evidence source when evaluating the condition of important software assets.
Target investment. Don’t spread it evenly.
Technical debt is rarely distributed uniformly across a software estate.
A blanket maintenance budget can therefore direct too much engineering capacity towards relatively healthy software while failing to address areas where problems are becoming concentrated.
Code Tuner helps make that allocation more precise.
More attention where the evidence supports it.
Less intervention where it doesn’t.
A CUSTOMER PERSPECTIVE
Technical complexity. Business consequences.
The real value was in connecting a specific area of technical complexity to the operational and commercial workflows it supported. That allowed us to see how an aspect of our software could have a much wider impact on business performance and the bottom line.

Improve the return on engineering capacity.
McKinsey research found that CIOs reported 10–20% of technology budgets dedicated to new products being diverted to technical-debt issues.
The commercial opportunity is not simply to spend less on technical debt.
It is to understand where intervention creates enough value to justify taking engineering capacity away from something else.
Code Tuner provides additional evidence for making that trade-off.
Decision-ready codebase intelligence.
Code Tuner can help leadership teams identify:
Concentrated technical risk
See whether problems appear localised rather than assuming they affect the entire software estate.
Growing development friction
Identify trends that may warrant investigation before they become more expensive.
Stable software
Build greater confidence in areas where additional intervention may not currently be necessary.
Changing software health
Track how important indicators develop over time rather than relying on a one-off assessment.
Evidence without developer surveillance.
Code Tuner analyses the software system rather than measuring individual developer productivity.
Engineering judgement remains essential, while leadership gains clearer evidence behind technical investment decisions.
Read-only by design.
Code Tuner analyses source code without changing or executing it.
Source code is not retained after analysis.
Make engineering investment easier to justify.
We are working with design partners to test how codebase evidence can improve engineering investment, software risk and technology planning decisions.
There is no cost to participate during the current design-partner phase.

FAQs
How does Code Tuner help business leaders?
Code Tuner provides visibility into where technical debt, complexity and related indicators are concentrated and how they change over time. This adds evidence to decisions about engineering capacity, maintenance and technology investment.
Does Code Tuner calculate financial ROI?
Code Tuner provides evidence about the software and the allocation decision. Financial outcomes should be assessed alongside the organisation’s own development, operational and commercial data.
Can Code Tuner support technical due diligence?
Code Tuner can provide an additional evidence source when assessing a software estate. It is not intended to replace comprehensive technical due diligence.
