Real-Time Engineering Cost Attribution Per Feature

P6/10April 13, 2026

WhatA platform that automatically maps engineering time and infrastructure costs to specific features, tickets, and business outcomes — giving eng leaders a live P&L per initiative.

SignalEngineering organizations routinely make six-figure allocation decisions with no visibility into whether the investment generates returns, and existing prioritization frameworks deliberately avoid dollar amounts because the math is uncomfortable.

Why NowAI coding tools are compressing development timelines, making the cost-per-feature calculation even more volatile and harder to intuit — leaders need real data more than ever as headcount justifications face new scrutiny.

MarketVP/Director of Engineering at companies with 50+ engineers; ~$2B TAM in engineering analytics; competitors like Jellyfish and Pluralsight Flow exist but focus on developer productivity metrics, not financial attribution per feature.
