New releaseImprovement

DAC Copilot expanded with deep knowledge base

DAC (Dacard Agentic Coach) has been significantly upgraded from a scoring assistant to a full product operations copilot.New capabilities:
  • Deep knowledge of product operations thought leadership from 13 practitioners, including Marty Cagan, Teresa Torres, Melissa Perri, Lenny Rachitsky, Shreyas Doshi, and more
  • Context-aware starter prompts that adjust based on which page and report you’re viewing
  • Expert citations on coaching responses with thumbs up/down feedback on each citation card
  • Resizable panel by dragging the left edge (280px to 600px)

POM Framework overlay

A new overlay report maps your scoring results to Marty Cagan’s Product Operating Model (SVPG).What you get:
  • 20 POM principles scored against your 24 dimension results
  • Gap analysis comparing your current practices to empowered-team standards
  • Transformation Tracker: a visual roadmap journey showing progress over time
  • Standalone POM assessment (score your team’s operating model independently)

GitHub and Linear integrations (Phase 1 live)

Connect your tools to pull real operational signals into scoring.GitHub signals: PR velocity, review cycles, deployment frequency, code review patternsLinear signals: Issue cycle time, backlog health, sprint velocity, project completion ratesBoth integrate via OAuth. Daily automatic sync, with manual sync available on demand. Signals are normalized into Dacard’s universal metric format and mapped to scoring dimensions (Iteration Speed, Feedback Loop, Build vs Buy, and more).

Collapsible sidebar and fixed layout

The app layout was reorganized for focus:
  • Sidebar collapses to an icon-only rail mode
  • Only the middle content column scrolls; sidebar and DAC panel stay fixed
  • DAC panel is resizable via a drag handle on the left edge

Stage-based color system

Visual consistency across all reports now uses a stage-dependent palette:
StageColor
LegacyRed
AI-CuriousAmber
AI-EnhancedYellow-green
AI-FirstGreen
AI-NativeBright green
Signal bars, score numbers, dimension cards, stage badges, and accent bars all follow this system.
