Persona Story:
Laura, the head of AI, needs to report reuse metrics to leadership, but “number of things reused” doesn’t tell whether reuse is actually helping the business.
Problem Context
- Leadership wants: “reuse went up → lead time came down → throughput increased → we make money”
- Current metrics like “number of X reused” show activity but not impact
- Reuse is supposed to reduce lead time but no one measures whether it does
Problem Impact
- Can’t demonstrate ROI of reuse initiatives to leadership
- No way to prioritize which reusable components matter most to the business
- Reuse becomes a checkbox exercise rather than a business accelerator
Naftiko Today
- Executable YAML specs make each capability’s consumers and dependencies explicit, providing the foundation for tracking which capabilities are actually reused and by whom
- Multi-source consumption with unique namespaces shows exactly which upstream APIs each capability composes, enabling dependency-graph-based reuse measurement
- Backstage Integration in Fleet surfaces capabilities in the developer portal where consumption can be tracked alongside team and project metadata
- Agent Skills exposure groups capabilities into business-level skills, connecting reuse to task-oriented outcomes rather than raw API call counts
Naftiko Tomorrow
- Naftiko Shipyard MVP (Fleet Second Alpha) will provide a centralized registry that can track capability adoption, consumption frequency, and consumer diversity over time
- Cost Insights plugin (Fleet GA) will directly connect reuse patterns to cost data, enabling “reuse went up, spend went down” reporting
- Tech Radar plugin (Fleet GA) will visualize capability maturity and adoption lifecycle, tying reuse to strategic technology decisions
- Execution history API (Future) will supply the raw telemetry needed to measure lead-time reduction from reuse versus net-new development
