The resignation letter is the last thing that happens, not the first
By the time someone gives notice, the damage is done — knowledge walks out, teams scramble, projects stall. Gitrevio detects the behavioral shifts weeks or months earlier, giving you time to act.
How it works
Attrition risk is not a single metric — it is a constellation of behavioral shifts detected across multiple dimensions simultaneously. No single signal is conclusive. A drop in commit frequency alone means nothing. The model looks at the pattern.
Each engineer's baseline is calibrated individually. A senior architect who reviews 20 PRs a week dropping to 12 is a very different signal than a junior developer whose review count fluctuates naturally.
The model updates continuously. Risk scores aren't a monthly snapshot — they adjust as new data arrives, so you see emerging patterns in real time.
What the model watches
Eight categories of behavioral signals, each composed of multiple underlying metrics. The model weighs them relative to each individual's established baseline.
Shapley attribution: know why, not just what
A raw risk score of 0.78 is not actionable. You need to know what is driving the risk so you can address it. Shapley values decompose the score into contributing factors with mathematically rigorous attribution.
This transforms a vague sense of concern into a targeted conversation. Sarah's risk is driven by engagement decline and reduced scope — not compensation or work-life balance. A challenging new project might help more than a raise.
Different root causes demand different interventions. The Shapley breakdown tells you which lever to pull.
Privacy and ethics
This is about organizational health, not surveillance. Attrition risk scoring exists to help managers have better conversations and make proactive decisions — not to monitor individuals.
Risk scores are visible only to direct managers and above. Individual activity patterns stay private — only aggregated risk signals surface. Engineers can see their own profile and understand what data informs their score.
No keystroke monitoring. No screenshot capture. No individual hour tracking. Gitrevio works from commit metadata, PR activity, and review patterns — artifacts the team already produces as part of normal work.
