The problem it solves

When you pay contributors based on completed work, tallying up who closed what by hand is tedious and error-prone. You risk over-paying, under-paying, or losing track of who did what during a busy month.

Who it fits

A company or open source program that pays contributors based on issues they close each month.

How it works

  1. A contributor closes an issue on GitHub
  2. The system automatically logs the closed issue and who closed it
  3. Closed issues are tallied up by contributor over the month
  4. You get a running record of completed work ready for payment calculations
What you get

Closed issues tallied by contributor

You get a running tally of which issues each contributor closed, ready to reference whenever you calculate monthly pay.

What you get

An up-to-date record of which contributor closed which issue, ready to use for calculating monthly pay.

What you need

A GitHub account with access to the relevant repositories.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
