Question 1

How does Vectyr help engineering managers catch problems early?

Accepted Answer

Vectyr continuously monitors your projects and proactively flags risks 48 hours before they become fires. Instead of discovering blockers in standup or getting blindsided in leadership meetings, you get alerts about stuck work, stale PRs, and hidden dependencies before they derail your team. Engineering managers report catching blockers that would have cost days of team productivity - far more valuable than the 15+ minutes daily they save on status updates.

Question 2

What integrations does Vectyr support?

Accepted Answer

Vectyr currently integrates with Jira, GitHub, Linear, and Slack. We pull issue data, sprint information, and team assignments from your issue tracker, combine it with PR review metrics and commit activity from GitHub, then deliver insights directly in Slack.

Question 3

How accurate is Vectyr's risk detection?

Accepted Answer

Vectyr's risk detection uses proven engineering metrics combined with AI analysis. We flag issues based on objective criteria: no updates in 5+ days, PRs waiting 48+ hours for review, estimate drift beyond 50%, and blocked dependencies. Early customers report that 85% of flagged risks are legitimate concerns they would have otherwise missed.

Question 4

What's included in the free tier?

Accepted Answer

Our free tier includes unlimited daily summaries, sprint reports, and standup prep for one project with up to 10 team members. You get full access to Jira, GitHub, and Linear integrations, plus basic risk detection.

Question 5

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

Most engineering managers complete Vectyr setup in under 5 minutes. The process is straightforward: sign up, connect Slack, authorize your tools with OAuth, and select projects to track. You'll receive your first daily summary the next morning.

Question 6

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We store only metadata-never full issue descriptions or code. Vectyr runs on AWS and uses read-only OAuth integrations.
