What is Pensero?
Pensero helps companies get more from their engineering and AI budget. It is the operating system for the agentic software development lifecycle (agentic SDLC): it measures the work of humans, AI-assisted engineers and agents on one scale, pinpoints the next move and helps you prove it worked.
What is a delivery point?
A delivery point is one unit of finished work, scored by size and difficulty. Pensero reads it next to cost and quality, and traces it to the pull request and ticket behind it.
What are the 5 levels of AI in engineering?
They describe who does the work: human-only, AI-assisted, AI reviews, orchestrated agents and fully autonomous agents. Most organizations run several levels at once, and the highest level is not always the right one.
Do I need to understand engineering to use Pensero?
No. Pensero reports output, cost and quality per team in business terms, so CEOs, CFOs and boards can see what the engineering and AI budget returns.
Does Pensero monitor individual engineers?
No. Pensero measures by team, cohort and type of work. The question is whether the organization uses AI well, not who is slow.
How fast will we see results?
You get an audited baseline in 6 weeks. After each change, we measure again at day 30, with program checkpoints at 3 and 6 months.
Which tools does Pensero read?
GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear, Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code and Devin, including contractors with repo access. Your teams do not change how they work.
Where can Pensero run?
In Pensero Cloud, in an EU-based deployment, in your own cloud account or on-premises.
Does Pensero use its own platform?
Yes. With the same team and the same cost, we roughly tripled delivered output after moving to orchestrated agents.
How is Pensero priced?
In 3 steps: a fixed-fee audit, a program billed per phase, then an annual platform license with no per-seat charge. We scope the audit in a 30-minute session.
