DevProof – Verified developer portfolios using Code Complexity and AI

They combine an AI agent that classifies files into UI/Logic/Complex tiers with lizard's McCabe scores to automatically downgrade dubious 'complex' claims — smart guardrails against hype. The product also promises crypto-verified merges and semantic issue search, but relying on a single complexity threshold (e.g., <15) feels blunt and will miss architectural nuance and domain-specific depth.
