The quality-per-hire index (QPHI) is a composite metric that quantifies the real, measurable value each hired developer brings relative to the cost, speed, and risk of hiring them.

The quick-start developer model is a hiring and integration framework that enables engineering teams to add production-ready developers extremely fast—reducing onboarding lag, eliminating early-cycle friction, compressing hiring overhead, and accelerating time-to-impact through structured alignment, pre-validated talent, and instant-context workflows.
