# minware > minware is a software development analytics platform that connects data from Git, project management, CI/CD, and AI coding tools into a single normalized model, so engineering leaders get metrics tied to actual delivery outcomes instead of black-box dashboards. minware serves engineering leaders (VPs of Engineering, CTOs, Engineering Managers, Directors of Engineering) at software companies who need to report on delivery performance, measure AI coding tool ROI, or find bottlenecks across a multi-tool SDLC. All metrics are implemented in minware's minQL formula language on a patent-pending hypercube data model, so every calculation is visible and editable rather than opaque. The platform ships pre-built reports for DORA metrics, AI adoption and ROI, cost capitalization, sprint/agile metrics, and project completion, plus a full BI system for custom reports. Data can be exported as CSV or queried by AI agents through minware's MCP server. Professional pricing is listed publicly at $25/contributor/month (no seat minimum, self-serve 14-day trial, no credit card required); Enterprise is $45/contributor/month (50-seat minimum, SSO/SAML, on-premise ingest, dedicated support). minware is SOC 2 Type 2 certified (audit period Oct 2024-Sep 2025). ## Product -
