Linage connects to your Linear workspace and turns cycle data into a narrative brief you can forward straight to your CTO — no charts to interpret, no Excel, no Friday afternoons in spreadsheets.
The team completed 14 of 17 committed issues (82%), down 12% from the 4-week average. Three issues carried over — all blocked on the external payments API migration.
Linear and Screenful both stop at “here are the numbers.” Then you spend two hours writing the part that actually gets read.
The team completed 14 of 17 issues (82%), down 12% from baseline. Three carry-overs all blocked on the same external API. Velocity is healthy; the dependency is systemic.
One-click OAuth into your Linear workspace. We never store issue content — just compute metrics and forget.
Rule-based pre-processing computes velocity, cycle time, and carry-over. AI writes the narrative.
Auto-delivered to Slack every Monday 9 am, or emailed as PDF. Or just forward the link to your CTO.

Linage is an AI-powered engineering analytics tool that connects to your Linear workspace and automatically generates narrative weekly reports. Instead of charts and raw numbers, you get a plain-English brief — covering sprint velocity, carry-overs, cycle time, and recommended next steps — that you can forward directly to your CTO or leadership.
Linage uses read-only Linear OAuth to fetch cycle and issue metadata. It computes engineering metrics (velocity, cycle time, carry-over rate) server-side, then sends only those aggregate numbers — never issue titles or assignee names — to AI to write the narrative. A full report is ready in under 60 seconds.
Yes. Linage has read-only access — it can never create, edit, or delete issues. Issue titles are processed transiently in memory and are never stored. Only computed metrics and the AI narrative are saved. All tokens are stored AES-256 encrypted with row-level security.
Screenful and Linear's native analytics stop at 'here are the numbers.' Linage writes the narrative that explains what those numbers mean, surfaces blockers, and recommends specific actions — giving you a report you can forward to leadership without editing.
About 5 minutes. Sign up, click Connect Linear, authorise read-only access, and Linage generates your first report immediately from your most recent cycle.
