Automate production readiness at scale

Your next peak event, audit, or high-stakes release shouldn't depend on a manual checklist. Cortex makes production readiness a continuous practice so your team enters every critical moment with confidence, not chaos.

Every peak event reveals the gaps you didn't know you had

You know the drill. A seasonal event or major release is approaching and suddenly everyone's scrambling, pulling engineers off feature work, chasing down service owners, and hoping nothing critical slips through.

For a few weeks, readiness becomes the focus.
Then the event passes and the organization returns to normal, until the next one.

Today

Manual checklist reviews, stale spreadsheets, and engineers pulled off feature work to ensure readiness.

With Cortex

Every service is continuously scored against your standards, gaps are surfaced automatically, and teams fix issues before they become incidents.

Make "always ready" the default, not the exception

Cortex puts production readiness on autopilot so every service is continuously evaluated against your standards, gaps are surfaced in real time, and your team walks into any critical event without a last-minute scramble.

Know exactly where you stand, right now

Get a live view of production readiness across every service in your organization. Cortex automatically tracks ownership, monitoring coverage, on-call assignment, vulnerability status, and any standard you define so you're never flying blind.

Set your standards once, enforce them continuously

Define what "production ready" uniquely means for your organization in a Cortex Scorecard. Every service is automatically scored against those standards, and teams see exactly what needs to be fixed without anyone having to ask.

Drive remediation, not just reporting

Visibility without action is just noise. Cortex turns Scorecard gaps into tracked initiatives, routes work to the right teams, and gives leaders a real-time view of progress so readiness actually improves.

How H&R Block reduced MTTR by 75%

Tax season is the highest-stakes event of H&R Block's year. With hundreds of services and tight reliability requirements, validating readiness manually meant weeks of spreadsheet reviews and senior engineers pulled into war room check-ins.

With Cortex, they codified their readiness standards into automated Scorecards. Ownership was always clear, gaps were resolved before the season started, and their team entered peak season with confidence.
