Why Aude.ai
Traditional Metrics Are Failing Your Team
As engineering leaders, we know the pressure to quantify performance. But standard tools often create more problems than they solve. That's why we built Aude differently.
The Problem With Standard Tools
They measure activity, not business impact, leaving senior work undervalued.
They create a "Big Brother" feel, which erodes the psychological safety needed for high performance.
They require manual data entry and workflow changes, creating friction for your team.
The Aude Philosophy
