LOL - I shudder at the idea of a manager making HR decisions based solely on this one metric!

To be clear we're not claiming this is 1 number to holistically evaluate an entire engineer. Rather we're giving a much more accurate picture of output, which most orgs are already measuring (with terrible accuracy). It should be an important part of the picture but certainly not the whole story!

And fwiw I think the scores are pretty transparent - in the platform, you can drill down into any number and see the actual PRs and their output measurements. Of course the underlying model is more complex but unfortunately simpler models are not sufficient to capture the way engineering output works.

Shudder is a fair reaction. Except the manager is now forced by hr to make a hr decision because that way too level "leadership" wouldnt be culpable!
