Main-branch success rate between CircleCI's 2025 and 2026 reports — September 2024 measured against September 2025. The worst reading in over five years; the Q2 2026 Pulse shows a partial rebound to 76.7%.
CircleCI · 2026 reportMore than 1 in 5 main-branch builds still fails. You pay for every single one.
TrimCI turns your pipeline data into a dollar figure — the estimated cost of broken builds — and a ranked list of fixes. You can't cut what you can't see.

How much is broken CI/CD costing you?
Plug in your numbers. The model is anchored to CircleCI's published delivery benchmarks — the only third-party data it uses.
Every CI/CD metric is moving the wrong way
Platform telemetry from CircleCI (28.7M workflows, September 2025) and Bitrise Mobile Insights, plus an academic study of 1,960 Java repositories on GitHub Actions. Measured pipeline data rather than survey opinion — and every figure links to the source it came from.
Year-over-year increase in median MTTR across all branches. The typical team now needs 72 minutes to recover from a failure — though on the main branch specifically, recovery improved to 59.2 minutes.
CircleCI 2026 reportAdditional engineering hours a team burns on debugging each year when it pushes five changes a day and main-branch success falls from 90% to 70%. A team already at 90% carries none of it.
CircleCI benchmarkof 1,960 open-source Java repositories had at least one flaky build. Reruns are rare — 3.2% of builds — and among the 52,610 developer-initiated reruns the authors studied, 67.73% came back with a different outcome.

CircleCI 2026 report“More code enters the pipeline, more of it fails, and recovery takes longer. The result is not acceleration — it is congestion.”
Every pipeline. Every run. Analysed.
Put a dollar figure on broken builds, get ranked fixes from static and AI analysis, and give every team — engineering, platform, finance — the visibility they need to act.
One dashboard, every provider
GitHub Actions and GitLab CI are live today, with Bitbucket, Jenkins, CircleCI and AWS CodeBuild coming soon — every connected pipeline in one unified view. One login, one source of truth for where your time and money are going.
Read-only. No repository access.
We never request repository-content permissions and never clone your repo — a runtime allowlist rejects any provider call outside pipeline endpoints, so source files, workflow YAML and diffs are unreachable. What we do store is the last 8,000 characters of failed-job logs, which carry whatever your build prints.
Estimate what broken builds cost you
We translate your actual run volume, success rate and recovery time into dollars. Stop debating whether flaky pipelines are a problem — know the estimated annual bleed.
Find where the waste hides
TrimCI ranks your slowest pipelines, most-failing jobs and flakiest builds from real run history — so you see exactly which pipelines burn the most time and money, and where to fix first.
Savings from AI analysis
AI reads your build logs, failure patterns and flaky-test history and proposes concrete fixes — ranked by the failure-rate reduction and monthly dollars they would save. It runs on our self-hosted model: your logs never leave TrimCI's servers and are never sent to OpenAI, Anthropic or any external AI provider.
Put the real numbers in front of your team
Pipeline failure rate, debug hours, cost per team — in one view your engineers, tech leads and finance can all read. Knowing the number is the first step to fixing the problem.
Built for the people who answer for CI
Different roles, one access model: read-only pipeline data, no repository access. That is also why handing a free dashboard login to your client, investor or finance team is a small decision — we never request repository contents, so there is no codebase to hand over. What they see is run history, cost, and the failed-job log excerpts those numbers are built from.
The hands-on CI owner
You own CI health because you broke it last. The cost Pareto, flaky-pipeline flags, retry tax and error fingerprints turn a dozen open provider tabs into one ranked fix-this-first list.
The accountable engineering manager
Your director asks what CI instability costs, and 'a lot' is not a number. The estimated-loss card, SLO targets and a monthly PDF turn the budget argument into arithmetic — with before/after proof for the cleanup work you sponsor.
The startup founder-CTO
Nobody on the team owns CI, so TrimCI watches it for you: silent red nightlies get called out, failure spikes are detected automatically on Business and throughout the trial, and the zero-code-access app is a two-minute security decision even on private repos.
The platform lead under EU compliance
Self-hosted GitLab CE/EE on every plan, EU-only hosting, a two-entry sub-processor list and AI that runs on TrimCI's own servers — pipeline observability your DPO can actually clear.
