The Challenge: Scaling engineering processes with growth
Rho is the modern banking platform built for startups. It gives founders fast, dependable banking from day one, with checking accounts, cards, and treasury set up quickly, and keeps expenses, bill pay, and accounting centralized as companies scale. With a strong engineering foundation already in place, Rho’s engineering leaders wanted to accelerate progress by proactively refining how teams worked—removing subtle friction, protecting focus, and sustaining high-quality delivery as their impact expanded.
To do that, they looked for a solution that would:
- Reveal frictions that may impact delivery velocity and developer experience
- Help managers translate insight into action, focusing effort on the changes that matter most
- Ensure AI adoption reduced engineering bottlenecks and drove measurable gains in delivery
The Results: Improving speed and AI effectiveness with Quotient
Quotient gave Rho a complete, actionable view of productivity by combining developer sentiment with system data to pinpoint subtle bottlenecks and prioritize the highest-impact improvements. Grounded in research-backed drivers of productivity, these insights helped engineering teams move faster, stay focused, and continuously raise the bar — while clearly measuring the impact of every change.
Since adopting Quotient, Rho has:
- Improved AI tooling productivity by 10% and AI tooling satisfaction by 15%
- Achieved targeted, team-level gains across key DevEx drivers, such as a 31% improvement in deep work, enabling faster, more predictable delivery
- Translated their DevEx improvements into sustained high velocity, accelerating team outcomes as the company continues to scale
We have a world-class engineering team. Quotient has helped our managers focus on the few changes that actually move the needle – and then measure whether they work.
The Impact: consistently strong delivery
Rho’s engineering organization is shipping faster with confidence, using Quotient to prioritize the changes that drive real impact. With a repeatable improvement motion in place, leaders continue to scale delivery and innovation while maintaining the high quality their customers expect.
AI moves fast. What matters is knowing what’s helping versus getting in the way. That clarity we get from Quotient tells us where to lean in, where to train, and where to stop forcing it.
Conclusion: Why Engineering Leaders Choose Quotient
For a high-performance engineering organization, improvement has to be iterative and measurable.
Quotient equips Rho’s engineering teams with:
✓ Visibility into what drives productivity
✓ Recommendations on the highest-impact changes
✓ Direct measurement of AI's impact on overall productivity
