Sentinel — Personas
Personas — Sentinel by Aftergraph
Section titled “Personas — Sentinel by Aftergraph”Wedge guardrail: Sentinel turns pull requests into merge-ready verdicts. First wedge: CLI review on exact HEAD → SHIP / DO NOT SHIP verdict with cited evidence → GitHub App.
1. Mette, CTO (buyer)
Section titled “1. Mette, CTO (buyer)”Runs a 20-person team, paged twice this quarter for bad merges. Buys confidence, not comments. Needs: org-wide rule packs, audit export for the board, a number that goes down (revert rate). Will not touch per-comment pricing.
2. Jonas, staff engineer (user, champion)
Section titled “2. Jonas, staff engineer (user, champion)”Reviews 10 PRs/day, rubber-stamps half. Wants: a verdict he can trust on the boring PRs so his attention goes to the risky ones. Needs CLI in his own workflow first — will not adopt a dashboard that adds clicks.
3. Priya, solo OSS maintainer (distribution)
Section titled “3. Priya, solo OSS maintainer (distribution)”200 stars, 5 drive-by PRs/week. Pays with attention. Needs: free App on public repos, zero config, verdicts that cite file:line so she can merge from her phone. Her public verdicts are our ads.
4. Henrik, compliance lead (enterprise wedge)
Section titled “4. Henrik, compliance lead (enterprise wedge)”Needs proof that exact commit X was reviewed against rule pack Y by an independent layer — for the auditor, not the team. Needs: tamper-evident verdict history, export, EU residency. Arrives in phase 3, pays the most, moves the slowest.
