Mault Merge
Now in beta
Your team merges more PRs than ever, and drowns reviewing them. Merge is the release-engineering layer that clears the bottleneck. Review findings are fixed and proven inside the PR. The merge gate requires evidence before anything reaches main. And CI never slows a human: advisory for people, blocking for automation. It runs on the PRs and CI you already have; nothing to migrate.
10x PR throughput
Every finding answered before merge
Neutral across review bots
Shares the work queue with Governance
Adds the merge gate to Governance. Built on the Shield foundation.
The problem it kills
AI is creating PRs faster than your team can review them.
The PRs doubled. Your reviewers didn't.
Every AI-written PR still needs a human hour you don’t have
Your review bot found it. Nothing made anyone fix it
Findings post as comments, and comments get ignored, especially in autonomous flows
Rubber-stamped PRs become incidents
Whatever slips past a tired reviewer ships to production, and you find out the hard way
At the merge gate
Enforcement carried to main.
Governance stops violations before they’re written. Merge makes sure what’s already written can’t ship until it passes, and triages the review work so throughput goes up without the standard going down.
CI pipelines
The release-engineering tier, hardened in production deployment. Advisory where humans merge, so it never slows the team; blocking on automated flows.
Bot-review triage
Every review bot’s findings become blocking: fixed or signed off inside the PR before anything merges. Repeat mistakes become permanent checks, so findings shrink over time.
Local review pattern
A lightweight, AI-optimized review catches the common failures, wiring, dead code, and the rest, before merge, with or without a CI.
Not the reviewer. The enforcer of review.
Review bots now write fixes too. Mault is the layer that makes any of them count.
Keep your review bots. Today their findings are comments, and comments get skipped, especially when agents run unattended. Mault makes every finding blocking: nothing merges until it is fixed, or someone signs off on why not, and every decision is recorded. Mault also learns from what it enforces. Mistakes that keep showing up become permanent checks, so findings shrink over time instead of piling up. Review vendors get paid to find problems. Mault gets paid to make them stop.
