Engineering metrics for portfolio companies, standardized
Delimetrics gives PE and VC operating partners consistent engineering KPIs across a private equity portfolio: delivery, investment mix, and a modeled software capitalization estimate. It reads each company's Jira Cloud directly, so there is nothing to instrument and rollout takes minutes per company.
The same engineering KPIs across every portfolio company
Every portfolio company reports engineering differently, which makes comparison and oversight painful. Delimetrics standardizes the picture. It connects to each company's Jira Cloud, reads custom fields for team, work type, and a capitalizable flag, and produces the same dashboards everywhere. Operating partners get one consistent vocabulary for delivery, spend allocation, and capitalization across the whole portfolio.
Why operating partners use Delimetrics
Quick rollout, no instrumentation
No Git or CI instrumentation and no engineer timesheets. A portfolio company connects its Jira Cloud and the dashboards populate from work already tracked. You can stand up a new company in minutes rather than running a quarter-long rollout.
Consistent metrics across a portfolio
DORA-style delivery metrics, investment mix, roadmap predictability, bugs, and incidents, computed the same way for every company. Comparable numbers make portfolio reviews and value-creation plans far easier.
Capitalization at a glance
A modeled CapEx versus OpEx estimate per company, derived from period cost times the share of delivered tickets flagged capitalizable. A consistent first-pass view of how much engineering spend is building durable assets.
Engineering KPIs that map to value creation
Investment mix shows how each company splits work across KTLO, Improve things, New things, and Productivity against targets, so you can see whether spend matches the thesis. Roadmap predictability surfaces the say/do ratio, on-time delivery, schedule slip, and at-risk epics, giving you an early read on whether a company will hit its plan. Delivery metrics cover throughput, median cycle time, median wait time, and predictability.
The capitalization figures are transparent modeled estimates intended for portfolio oversight and as a starting point for finance, not accounting records and not audit-grade. Each company's finance team should validate the numbers before they are used in financial statements.
