Bridging Code and Capital: Translating engineering decisions into numbers driving leadership decisions

by Andreas Creten

Engineers speak the language of velocity and technical debt. Executives speak burn rate and runway. Boards speak capital efficiency. Three languages. Three parallel universes. And somewhere between them, the best decisions simply disappear. Bridging Code and Capital is a translator. It reveals what your organization refuses to the true economic impact of bugs, failed hires, technical debt, and wrong bets. Not to reduce engineering to spreadsheets, but to finally enable the conversation that matters - the one where everyone understands what actually costs money, and why.
If you've ever watched a brilliant engineering decision get killed by a spreadsheet you don't understand, or watched leadership make a choice without grasping its technical implications, this book is written for you.
