One month of our own engineering.
We use Reign Factory to build Reign. From 11 July to 11 August 2026, we measured merged work across eight of our own GitLab repositories.
What happened in that month.
What these figures cover
We counted merged merge requests and excluded release commits and automated approvals. The 326 includes only requests that merged. The 19-hour measure starts when a merge request opens and ends when it merges, which uses a different clock from published first-commit-to-release figures.
This was our own environment: a two-person team working on work selected for this path. The figures do not show change size, rework or how often work needed a person's involvement. Customer results depend on the work, environment and review process.
