An ARC is not a ticket. The work creates it.
ARC stands for Activity Reality Check. It is a living narrative that Zamski detects from signals across your engineering systems. It forms when coordination patterns emerge. It evolves as the work evolves.
Nobody creates an ARC. Nobody assigns it. Nobody closes it. It appears when the signals warrant it and resolves when the pattern does.
A ticket tracks planned work. An ARC surfaces what actually happened.
From signals to narrative
Signals collected
Zamski reads activity from GitHub, Jira, Slack, and calendars. Commits, status changes, messages, reviews, meetings. Observable facts from your systems of record.
Pattern detected
When signals from different tools converge on the same work, Zamski detects coordination patterns. A PR merged but the ticket never moved. A Slack thread growing while commits stopped.
Narrative generated
The pattern becomes a living narrative. Not a dashboard widget. Not an alert. A story with context, timeline, and participants that explains what the signals mean together.
ARC evolves
As new signals arrive, the narrative updates. Gravity rises or falls. The ARC may resolve on its own or grow more significant. It is never static.
An ARC has a lifecycle
ARCs are not closed by humans. They resolve when the coordination pattern resolves.
14 evaluators. 8 compound patterns.
Every ARC is evaluated across 14 dimensions and scored against 8 compound patterns that only become visible when you look across tools.
What ARCs are not
Not monitoring
No alerts. No paging. No thresholds. ARCs surface patterns for humans to interpret, not for systems to act on.
Not scoring
No developer productivity scores. No leaderboards. No performance ranking. ARCs describe coordination, not individuals.
Not alerting
No action required. No escalation chains. No SLA timers. An ARC is information, not an obligation.
