Know which deploys will fail before you merge.

Koalr scores every PR 0–100 using 36 research-validated signals before it ships — explains exactly why it's risky, and suggests how to fix it.

Koalr reads the envelope, not the letter.

We connect to GitHub to read PR metadata — file paths, sizes, timing, and review patterns. Your source code, commit content, and PR descriptions are never read, stored, or transmitted. Period.

01

Connect your GitHub org

No agents. No YAML. No instrumentation. OAuth in, and you're done.

02

Koalr analyzes every PR

All 36 signals run automatically on every pull request — before anyone clicks merge.

03

Get a risk score

Red, amber, or green. Reason codes. Posted as a GitHub Check Run. Every time.

36 signals. One score. Before you ship.

Author familiarity

Someone making their first commit to payments-service is statistically higher risk than the engineer who owns it.

Concurrent merges

Multiple PRs landing to the same service in a short window compound failure probability.

Review depth

A rubber-stamp approval — zero comments, instant LGTM — correlates with missed defects. We measure it.

Blast radius

If this service fails, which teams get paged? Which customer flows go down? Mapped before you deploy.

Deployment Intelligence

65,000 words on why deploys fail, how to predict them, and what elite engineering teams do differently. Free. No paywall. No credit card.

Deployment Intelligence book cover

The deploy intelligence platform

Predict. Explain. Fix. Learn.

Every other tool tells you what happened. Koalr stops it from happening — before you merge.

01Predict

Score every PR before merge

36 research-validated signals — coverage delta, blast radius, DDL migrations, author familiarity, and more. Score 0–100. Every time.

02Explain

Plain-English AI explanations

Not just a number. "This PR scores 87 because of a DDL migration with no rollback, zero test coverage on changed files, and no reviews from anyone familiar with payments-service."

03Remediate

Generate the actual fix

Rollback SQL. CI workflow YAML. Reviewer suggestions by name. CODEOWNERS diffs. Not advice — artifacts ready to copy-paste or post as a GitHub suggestion.

04Learn

Get smarter with every deploy

Outcome data (incidents, rollbacks, deploy failures) feeds back into the model. Koalr learns which signals actually predict incidents for your org.

No competitor does any of this.

LinearB has $84M raised and 6 years. They still don't predict, explain, fix, or refine risk signals from deployment outcomes.

Everything your team needs to ship confidently.

Track what matters

Deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, and change failure rate — automatically calculated from your GitHub data.

Understand why it's risky

Plain-English AI explanations for every high-risk score — not just a number, but exactly which signals fired and what to do about it.

Ask anything about your engineering data

"Why is our change failure rate trending up?" Context-aware AI answers backed by your real incident, PR, and deployment data.

Know who's actually reviewing

Reviewer expertise scoring, CODEOWNERS sync, and rubber-stamp detection — so approvals mean something.
