THE
LOGIC.
Everything you need to know about keeping your project on track. Real-time budget monitoring and git access control for developers.
[01] Overview
The Financial
Guardrail.
DevHQ is the impartial monitoring layer between you and your deliverables. It automates budget tracking and git access control to ensure every commit is accounted for.
Core Philosophy
We believe transparency is the best policy. When the budget is exceeded, the protocol notifies and enforces limits. Zero surprises. Zero awkward conversations about overages.
The Execution Flow
Ingest
Connect your repo and set your hourly rate. Every commit is quantified.
Budget
Define your project budget and tracking parameters for the protocol.
Monitor
Work as usual. We track the progress in real-time from your terminal.
Enforce
If the budget dries up, we can revoke access automatically until review.

Tracking Codes
Universal identifiers for your work. Use them across git, CLI, and docs.
git push -m "feat: [WEB-001] auth"
Proof of Work
Automated logs and snapshots that prove every billable minute of progress.
