Review Metrics
Overview
What gets measured gets improved. Without metrics, review quality is invisible: teams cannot tell whether reviews are catching defects before production, whether reviewers are calibrated consistently, or whether the review process is slowing delivery unnecessarily. This skill teaches how to collect, calculate, and act on the six core metrics that reveal review effectiveness.
The goal is not to create a surveillance system for reviewers. The goal is to surface systemic problems — rubber-stamping, over-blocking, calibration drift — so the team can correct them. Metrics are diagnostic tools, not performance scores.
This skill pairs with review-accuracy-calibration (improving individual reviewer calibration), review-efficiency-patterns (optimizing review time allocation), and review-feedback-quality (writing comments that are actionable).
