You write the tickets.
The factory opens the pull requests.
AI agents pick up each ticket and return a tested pull request through the delivery process you already have. Our engineers work alongside your team, and we measure the results against your own baseline.

Your pipeline ships it
Your source control, pipeline and approval policy stay where they are. Add workers in packs of five as the work grows.
When it cannot converge. If the factory cannot reach a change worth reviewing, it reports that rather than opening a pull request to show activity.
Works with your SDLC tools: GitHub, GitLab, Jira and Linear. Tickets in from your tracker, pull requests out to your repository. Your CI/CD runs on every change. Custom integrations available.
Your reviewers see a pull request, not a promise.
Checks attached, findings attached, named approver. Nothing merges without your approval.
Published findings on engineering capacity and AI-assisted development.
Read together, the four findings below locate the constraint: the code got faster and the release did not, because the bottleneck moved downstream into review. That is the constraint Reign Factory is built around, one pull request per item, checks that report rather than gate, and a named approver who decides what ships.
| What is measured | Whose figure, and when |
|---|---|
| At the median organization, roughly 42% of engineering time goes to maintenance, support and bug fixes. Organizations with more than 2,500 engineers are the worst. | DX, Core 4 Innovation Ratio benchmark. 500+ companies, 200,000+ data points. Undated benchmark. |
| More than half of all code is now AI-generated, up from 34% one quarter earlier. Over the same period the Innovation Ratio (the share of time on new capability) stayed flat. | DX, The State of AI Impact in Engineering, Q2 2026, 22 July 2026. 500+ organizations. |
| AI-assisted development shows a 35 to 40% productivity gain on simple, greenfield tasks, and around 10% or less on complex legacy code. | Stanford University (Denisov-Blanch et al.), cited in Google / DORA, The ROI of AI-Assisted Software Development, 22 April 2026. Telemetry from approximately 100,000 developers. |
| Individual developers using AI complete more tasks and merge more pull requests. Across whole companies there was no significant correlation between AI adoption and improvement. | Faros AI, The AI Productivity Paradox, 23 July 2025. 1,255 teams, 10,000+ developers, telemetry rather than survey. |
Each figure comes from a named external source and retains its date and population. None of the figures above is an iTmethods measurement.

Open by design. Your models, your data, your choice.
Use frontier models on your own accounts and keys. Every change lands in your repository for your team to approve, and you can swap models without changing how the work is governed.

Who does what.
| Area | Reign and our engineers | Your team |
|---|---|---|
| The service | Runs, monitors and upgrades the service, 24×7. | Your Git platform and tracker, and your own model accounts and keys. |
| The rules | Configures agents, models, checks and stop rules. | Sets the rules and classes of work. |
| The work | The factory works tickets and opens pull requests. | Writes and prioritizes the tickets. |
| Review and release | Our engineers coach your team. | Reviews and approves every merge. Runs QA and releases through your own process. |
The first 90 days.
The launch
Connect tracker, repository and checks. Set the rules. First pull requests reviewed.
Steady flow
Configured workflows run every day. Engineers tune the rules with your team.
First health check
We compare delivery speed and rework with your baseline, plus model cost per merged change. Then we keep checking.
One subscription per delivery process.
A supervisor with five AI workers, operation 24×7 and engineer hours.
Add workers in packs of five.
Included: guardrails, cost controls, a record of each call.
Our engineers work alongside your team and coach it.
Questions buyers ask
Does it replace my engineers?
No. Agents do the assigned work and open pull requests. Your reviewers approve every merge, and our engineers work beside your team.
Where does my code go?
It stays in a dedicated, single-tenant instance in your AWS or Azure account, or on Reign Dedicated. Workers copy it into a container you define with us, destroyed when the work is done.
What if an agent gets it wrong?
Agents run your checks and fix failures before a pull request opens. If an agent gets stuck, a limit stops it. Nothing merges without your approval.
How do I see what it does?
Every change arrives as a pull request with check results. A live Factory dashboard shows the work in progress, and the same telemetry goes to your collector.
