Features
Start with the question that keeps you up at night
Record who knows what across your system areas - then see exactly where you're exposed when someone leaves.
01 // SIMULATE ABSENCE
Remove someone. See what's exposed.
Take any team member off the board and instantly see which areas lose critical coverage. Plan for change, reorganizations, and coverage gaps before they happen - not after.

02 // CONCENTRATION
Single-person dependency
See how many team members have knowledge of each system area. Find areas that rely on one person.
03 // DEPTH
Depth distribution
See depth per team member in each system area (Deep, Working, Limited). Use it to plan pairing and handoffs.
04 // PRIORITIZATION
Automatic risk labels
Areas are labeled Hotspot, Watch, or Healthy automatically. Summaries explain the main risk factors at a glance.
05 // ACTIONS
Turn insight into action.
When you spot a coverage gap, create an action to close it. Assign a team member, set a mentor, and track progress to completion - right from the area or team member page.

FAQ
Common questions
Does it need access to our code or systems?
No. Faultline doesn't connect to GitHub, your infrastructure, or any external system. Knowledge is entered by your team - no integrations, no read access, no monitoring required.
Is this a performance management tool?
No. Faultline looks at system areas, not individuals. There are no individual scores or rankings - just team-level coverage data to help you plan ahead.
How long does it take to get started?
Most teams are up and running in under 30 minutes. Add your team, define your system areas, and map who knows what. No integrations or installation required.
How does absence simulation work?
Select any team member and Faultline shows which areas lose coverage without them - and which become single-point dependencies.
