For Engineers
Your code already knows what shipped. Now everyone else does too.
Waterline reads your commits and PRs. When anyone asks about a ticket, it answers from the code. No more pings or status updates with zero changes to how you work.
"Did your PR close the ticket?"
You merged it and moved on. If someone asks if it shipped, Waterline can answer for you.
"Why is the PM asking me what shipped?"
The answer has always been in your commits. Waterline now shows it to them.
"I write code, not status updates."
You should not have to. The commit is the status update and Waterline makes everyone else fluent in it.
Merge the PR. Waterline handles the questions.
Zero changes to how you work
Waterline reads your existing pull requests and commits. No new commit message format or setup required on your end.
Status questions go to Waterline, not to you
When your PM needs to know ticket status, Waterline gives them a code-verified answer.
Your source code is never stored
Waterline reads changed files to compute a coverage answer, then discards the raw content. Your source never touches our database or logs.

Common questions
Does Waterline require me to do anything differently?
No. Waterline reads your existing commit and pull request history using read-only access. You do not need to write different commit messages, update ticket fields, or participate in any setup. Connect once, and you are done.
Can Waterline access my code or store it?
No. Waterline reads file content and diffs to compute a progress answer, then discards the raw source. Your code is never stored in our database or logs.
What if the acceptance criteria on the ticket are vague or wrong?
Waterline matches code to whatever acceptance criteria are in the ticket. If the criteria are unclear, Waterline flags which parts it could not map reliably rather than returning a confident but wrong number. That flag is visible to your team.
