shield Zero-code-access · our own AI

More than 1 in 5 main-branch builds still fails. You pay for every single one.

TrimCI turns your pipeline data into a dollar figure and a ranked list of fixes — without a repository read scope, and without sending a single log line to an external AI provider.

Is TrimCI for you?

Yes — if your company ships software.

Here's what it gives the people who pay for it, and the people who build it.

For business leaders

founders, CEOs, finance, agency owners

  • The cost, in money. An estimate of what failed builds cost your company — in dollars, not engineering jargon.
  • Where to invest first. Your costliest pipelines, ranked — so the first fix goes where the money is.
  • A report you can read. A PDF that opens with an executive summary. Managers, finance and clients join the dashboard free — you pay only for the people who actually run builds.

For engineering teams

developers, CI owners, platform engineers

  • Your CI, as it is. GitHub Actions and GitLab CI — including self-hosted GitLab behind a VPN, via an open-source agent.
  • The metrics you'd otherwise build yourself. Failure rate, flaky pipelines, MTTR, queue time and recurring-error fingerprints across your repos.
  • Fixes, not just charts. AI fix suggestions ordered by severity, with their estimated impact — from a model on our own EU servers. Read-only, pipeline-only access, enforced in code.

Not sure which CI you use? Ask your developers — if it's GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, TrimCI works today.

The Data Boundary

Four answers your security review will want first

Pipeline analytics usually costs you a repository read scope and a US AI vendor. TrimCI is built so it costs you neither — and says plainly what it does keep.

rule

Read-only, pipeline-only — enforced in code

The GitHub App requests Actions and Metadata read-only, never Contents. GitLab has no scope narrower than read_api, so a runtime allowlist refuses any call outside pipeline, job and trace endpoints before it leaves our process.

history

What we do keep, and for how long

The last 8,000 characters of an unsuccessful job's log — your build's own console output, so it carries whatever your build prints. Known secret formats are redacted before the model sees it, and the excerpt is deleted after 30 days.

vpn_lock

EU-only, two sub-processors, DPA on signup

Hosted in the EU on Hetzner. The published sub-processor list has exactly two entries: hosting and transactional email. Our web analytics is cookie-less and self-hosted too — which is why this page never asked you about cookies.

Loss Calculator

How much is broken CI/CD costing you?

Plug in your numbers. The model is anchored to CircleCI's published delivery benchmarks — the only third-party data it uses.

Only splits the total into a per-developer figure — it does not change the annual bleed.
$ / h
%
Default is 76.7% — CircleCI's most recent published main-branch average (Q2 2026 Pulse).

Method: failures = runs × 250 working days × (1 − success rate). Debug time = 40 minutes of engineer attention per failure. CircleCI prices a failure at 60 minutes of recovery — wall-clock time covering debugging and blocked deployments, not only engineer attention — so we take two-thirds of it and charge it to every failure rather than only to those above a 90% baseline. Rework tax = 15% of labor cost. Estimates are directional and deliberately conservative — we would rather under-promise than leave a buyer feeling oversold.

The Data

Every CI/CD metric is moving the wrong way

Platform telemetry from CircleCI (28.7M workflows, September 2025) and Bitrise Mobile Insights, plus an academic study of 1,960 Java repositories on GitHub Actions. Measured pipeline data rather than survey opinion — and every figure links to the source it came from.

+250 h

Additional engineering hours a team burns on debugging each year when it pushes five changes a day and main-branch success falls from 90% to 70%. A team already at 90% carries none of it.

CircleCI benchmark
51.28%

of 1,960 open-source Java repositories had at least one flaky build. Reruns are rare — 3.2% of builds — and among the 52,610 developer-initiated reruns the authors studied, 67.73% came back with a different outcome.

arXiv preprint · 1,960 projects
+59% / −7%

Average throughput up 59% YoY — but that average belongs to the top 5%. The median team gained just 4%, and its main-branch throughput fell 7%.

CircleCI 2026 report

“More code enters the pipeline, more of it fails, and recovery takes longer. The result is not acceleration — it is congestion.”

What TrimCI Does

Every pipeline. Every run. Analysed.

Put a dollar figure on broken builds, get ranked fixes from static and AI analysis, and give every team — engineering, platform, finance — the visibility they need to act.

dashboard

One dashboard, every provider

GitHub Actions and GitLab CI are live today — including self-hosted GitLab behind a VPN, via our open-source agent that pushes pipeline data out from inside your network — with Bitbucket, Jenkins, CircleCI and AWS CodeBuild coming soon. Every connected pipeline in one unified view: one login, one source of truth for where your time and money are going.

lock_person

Read-only. No repository access.

We never request repository-content permissions and never clone your repo — a runtime allowlist rejects any provider call outside pipeline endpoints, so source files, workflow YAML and diffs are unreachable.

payments

Estimate what broken builds cost you

We translate your actual run volume, success rate and recovery time into dollars. Stop debating whether flaky pipelines are a problem — know the estimated annual bleed.

leaderboard

Find where the waste hides

TrimCI ranks your slowest pipelines, most-failing jobs and flakiest builds from real run history — so you see exactly which pipelines burn the most time and money, and where to fix first.

auto_awesome

Savings from AI analysis

AI reads your build logs, failure patterns and flaky-test history and proposes concrete fixes — ranked by the failure-rate reduction and monthly dollars they would save. All of it on our own model, never an external AI provider.

visibility

Put the real numbers in front of your team

Pipeline failure rate, debug hours, cost per team — in one view your engineers, tech leads and finance can all read. Knowing the number is the first step to fixing the problem.

Who Runs TrimCI

Built for the people who answer for CI

Different roles, one access model: read-only pipeline data, no repository access. That is also why handing a free dashboard login to your client, investor or finance team is a small decision — we never request repository contents, so there is no codebase to hand over. What they see is run history, cost, and the failed-job log excerpts those numbers are built from.

build

The hands-on CI owner

You own CI health because you broke it last. The cost Pareto, flaky-pipeline flags, retry tax and error fingerprints turn a dozen open provider tabs into one ranked fix-this-first list.

analytics

The accountable engineering manager

Your director asks what CI instability costs, and 'a lot' is not a number. The estimated-loss card, SLO targets and a monthly PDF turn the budget argument into arithmetic — with before/after proof for the cleanup work you sponsor.

bolt

The startup founder-CTO

Nobody on the team owns CI, so TrimCI watches it for you: silent red nightlies get called out, failure spikes are detected automatically on Business and throughout the trial, and the zero-code-access app is a two-minute security decision even on private repos.

shield

The platform lead under EU compliance

Self-hosted GitLab CE/EE on every plan, EU-only hosting, a two-entry sub-processor list and AI that runs on TrimCI's own servers — pipeline observability your DPO can actually clear.
