Pico

PR review that catches
requirement gaps

Pico detects discrepancies between your feature specs and what's actually being built—surfacing gaps before they become expensive rework.

The Spec-to-PR Gap

Code review catches bugs, not requirement drift. Features slip through when PRs don't match specs.

1

Spec written

Meeting transcript: 'Users need OAuth with Google'

2

PR submitted

Implementation uses email/password only

3

Review passes

Code looks clean, tests pass

4

Gap discovered in production

'Wait, where's Google login?'

Without Pico

Gaps found in prod

vs

With Pico

Gaps caught in PR

Missing Edge Cases

Spec mentioned "handle network failures"—PR has no retry logic

2 weeks rework

Partial Implementation

Meeting transcript required 3 user roles—PR only handles 2

Sprint slipped

Wrong Interpretation

"Real-time updates" meant WebSocket—PR used polling

Architecture redo

What Makes Pico Different

PR review that understands what you meant to build, not just what you built

Traditional Code Review

  • Check syntax & style
  • Review code in isolation
  • Find bugs
  • Static analysis
  • After merge problems

Pico Review

  • Check against requirements
  • Review code + spec together
  • Find missing features
  • Intent analysis
  • Before merge prevention
