For freelancers & solo developers

Prove your code — even as a team of one.

Your client can't read code — they judge you on a demo and your word, and a bigger shop's "process" can outbid you on trust alone. Watchdog gives a one-person shop an independent Codebase Assurance Index: one reproducible 0–100 for the proposal, the hand-over, and the rate you charge. The same surveyor buyers and acquirers trust — on your repo.

Self-serve · C#/.NET native · The first full report on any repo is free — public or private.

The asymmetry you're up against

Big shops sell process. You can sell proof.

Today: you ask for trust

"Clean, maintainable, well-tested" — provable in none of it. The logo and the louder pitch win. And at hand-over you have nothing independent to leave behind.

Now: you bring a number

An independent CAI graded by a rubric neither you nor the client owns. Reproducible — the same commit re-scores to the same number. A report you attach to the proposal, the invoice and the hand-over.

Your client doesn't have to trust us either — they can verify the number themselves against the open standard.

The deliverables

What a survey puts in your hands.

A reproducible report

The CAI and every finding in a signed PDF + JSON, pinned to a commit — the artifact your proposal and hand-over carry.

An agent-fix loop

Findings ranked by impact ÷ effort, handed to your coding agent — Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor — over MCP. Quality you can keep up solo.

Agents & MCP →

A changelog every survey

CAI and per-lens deltas, what shipped, API endpoints added and removed — a record your client can read.

A standing inspection

Scheduled scans plus a daily security watch — a CVE or regression surfaces the day it appears, not when the client finds it.

Built for one

One seat — and a clean path when you grow.

Single seat, by design

The Freelancer package is single-seat; your org stays just you. Justify your rate with an independent number, not adjectives.

When you grow

Add people by moving to the Engineering-team package — same rubric, same repos, no migration.

How it works

Three steps, single seat.

Survey your own repo

Point Watchdog at the project — the first full report is free. An independent CAI, graded by a rubric you don't own, not your word.

Attach it

Put the report in the proposal, the invoice and the hand-over — proof a client who can't read code accepts.

Re-run to defend

The same commit re-scores the same, so the number holds up later — and your client can verify it themselves against the open standard.

Put a number on your work. Win the next one with it.
