Request Credits
A Request Credit is EdgeShift’s unit of ongoing delivery.
Definition (1 credit)
1 Request Credit = 1 PR + 1 preview URL + a deployable change, including:
- Up to 2 review rounds
- Up to 2 hours of engineering
- Uses existing components/patterns (minor CSS OK)
- No net-new third-party integrations
- No major data model changes
- Basic QA and deployment
When it’s not 1 credit
It becomes multiple credits or a mini-sprint if it:
- Needs multiple PRs or a refactor
- Requires more than 2 review rounds
- Adds a new integration or complex dynamic behavior
- Requires new design system primitives
- Requires “pixel-perfect builder parity” work
Examples
- Copy/image/meta/redirect tweak → 1 credit
- New landing page using existing sections → 1–2 credits
- New component + new page → 2–4 credits
- Net-new integration/feature → mini-sprint
