Admin API
Four tools, each with its own status, read-only or write-only.
Point your tools at us
An OTLP endpoint and a write-only key: an env block in ~/.claude/settings.json for Claude Code, or a short block in ~/.codex/config.toml for Codex. Cursor and Copilot connect with a read-only admin token instead.
Watch the first numbers arrive
Claude Code and Codex within minutes, Cursor and Copilot after the first hourly sync. Nothing to install.
Check the invoice
Add each tool's plan and record its bill. We check it against seats and billed usage and flag differences.
Pricing
Fixed fee for a 3, 6 or 12-month term; all features included. The factors we measure do not affect the amount you will pay.

Built so that no person is ever scored, the use the EU AI Act treats as high-risk at work.
The EU AI Act treats systems that evaluate individual workers as high-risk. Lodeline is designed to hold no individual to evaluate: identity is never assembled, only a per-workspace salted hash used for de-duplication, and every figure is a team or repository aggregate.

The database refuses to return another workspace's rows, whatever the query.
Each workspace's rows carry its id, and the database itself filters every query by it. Hosting for a specific jurisdiction is agreed per contract.
Row-level security on every table
Every table as CSV, or the whole workspace deleted, from Settings.
Export and deletion are self-service: a deletion can be undone for 30 days, and backups keep the data up to 14 days after it.

A fixed fee is applied based on the AI coding budget you have specified. This fee does not vary according to the measurements we take.
No. We never build a profile of a person. Usage carries only a salted one-way hash used to avoid counting it twice, and every figure is a team or repository total.
Only the people you invite, with owner, admin or member rights. Every figure is a team or repository total.
