Landmark

Landmark is the analysis layer for engineering-system signals. It reads Map data to show marker evidence, practice patterns, and snapshot trends for manager-defined teams.

Landmark turns shared data into clear analysis. It combines objective marker evidence from GitHub artifacts with subjective outcomes from GetDX snapshots, then presents team-level and individual views grounded in your framework.

What you get

  • Personal evidence views by skill marker and artifact context
  • Practice-pattern summaries across manager-derived team scopes
  • Snapshot trend and comparison views from GetDX quarterly results
  • Combined health views joining marker evidence and snapshot factors
  • Consistent filters by manager hierarchy, skill, and factor

Who it's for

Engineers reviewing their own evidence in context of role expectations.

Engineering leaders tracking team patterns and DX trends using shared, manager-scoped views.


Core Views

Personal Evidence

An engineer reviews recent artifacts linked to specific skill markers.

$ fit-landmark evidence --skill system_design

  Your evidence: System Design (working level)

  PR #342 "Redesign authentication flow"
    Design doc with component diagram in PR description. Approved by two
    reviewers without structural rework.
    → relates to: design doc accepted without senior rewrite

  PR #342 review thread
    Resolved caching vs. session debate. Posted trade-off comparison and
    the team converged on session approach.
    → relates to: led a discussion that resolved a design disagreement

Practice Patterns

Engineering leadership sees aggregate marker patterns across a manager-defined team scope.

  $ fit-landmark practice --skill system_design --manager platform_manager

  System Design practice — Platform team (last quarter)

  Strong evidence:
    Design documents in PRs — most feature PRs include architecture sections
    Review quality — review threads regularly discuss design rationale

  Weak evidence:
    Trade-off analysis — few PRs document multiple approaches considered
    Consider: where does design exploration happen in the current workflow?

Quarterly GetDX snapshots show how factors move over time and relative to org and benchmark comparisons.

fit-landmark snapshot trend --item MTQ2 --manager platform_manager
fit-landmark snapshot compare --snapshot MjUyNbaY --manager platform_manager

How It Works

Landmark queries Map's central store:

  1. organization_people for hierarchy and team slicing
  2. github_artifacts + evidence for objective marker analysis
  3. getdx_snapshots + getdx_snapshot_team_scores for quarterly outcomes
  GetDX + GitHub → Map (ingest + store) → Landmark (analyze + present)
