About Allocore

Allocore is a modern lending infrastructure platform handling high throughput financial operations. Their codebase spans dozens of services and languages, from Django to Angular, powering everything from underwriting workflows to regulatory compliance systems.

"Entelligence helped us scale reviews without compromising code quality. It flagged production grade bugs before they shipped, surfaced patterns we weren't catching manually, and reduced the time our senior engineers spent combing through repetitive logic."
Michael Clark
Director of Engineering, Allocore

The Problem

Allocore engineers push code across critical financial systems multiple times a day. Each pull request might span complex payment logic, stateful workflows, or compliance sensitive operations where the cost of a silent bug is measured in dollars or audits.

At scale, the team faced three growing challenges:

  • Code Review Fatigue: Engineers were reviewing dozens of pull requests weekly, leading to rubber stamped merges and missed edge cases.

  • Invisible Risks: Concurrency issues, credential leaks, and state-transition bugs rarely surfaced during review. They emerged in staging or worse production.

  • Stale or Missing Documentation: Tribal knowledge was buried in Slack threads or engineers' heads. Ramp-up took weeks, and handoffs broke down between squads.

The Solution

Allocore integrated Entelligence across its core GitHub org in one day. No code changes or CI disruptions were needed. Within minutes, reviews became richer and docs started self-generating.

Each new pull request now includes:

  • Automated Line-Level Reviews: EntelligenceAI reviews catch subtle issues humans often miss race conditions, undefined variables, risky logic patterns.

  • Context Aware Comments: Comments are filtered and prioritized by business impact, with high severity issues expanded and low priority ones tucked away.

  • Auto Generated Documentation: Living docs are created and updated on every commit, giving engineers an always-current source of truth across 10+ repos.

  • Slack Review Summaries: PR highlights and code walkthroughs land directly in team channels, reducing context switching and speeding decision making.

"Entelligence caught bugs that had silently shipped before race conditions, unclosed resources, validation misses. The AI comments felt actionable & not noisy."
Michael Clark
Director of Engineering, Allocore

Outcome

Entelligence flagged thousands of issues across 862 pull requests, uncovering business-critical bugs before they reached production.

Key results from the 8 week rollout:

What Entelligence Caught Before Merge

  • Data Integrity Bugs: Missing tax ID validation, unguarded delete cascades, improper audit trails

  • Security Weaknesses: Hardcoded credentials, missing auth checks, misconfigured middleware

  • Race Conditions: Concurrent payment jobs processed out of order, causing potential double-charges

  • Memory Leaks and Unclosed Resources: Unmanaged lifecycles in document processors and canvas renderers

  • Silent Logic Errors: Missing return statements, misused assignment operators, fragile computed properties

  • Compliance Oversights: Incorrect error codes for KYC validations, bypassed regulatory checks

  • Workflow Inconsistencies: Improper task state transitions and missing permission validation during lifecycle changes

Results That Matter

  • Engineering teams caught serious issues early, instead of during QA or incident triage
  • Code reviews became more consistent, with less reliance on senior engineers
  • New hires onboarded faster using AI-generated docs and Slack-native answers
  • The team saved 20 minutes per review on average, freeing cycles for shipping product

Looking Forward

Based on Allocore's trial success, the next rollout phase will enable deeper capabilities:

  • Team Insights Dashboards: Track review quality, identify blockers, and visualize code ownership

  • Learning from Feedback: Refine detection patterns based on thumbs-up and thumbs-down on comments

  • Custom Guidelines and Patterns: Codify Allocore's internal review standards into reusable detection modules

  • IDE Plugins: Bring Entelligence suggestions directly into VS Code and JetBrains IDEs

  • Knowledge Graphs and Hand-Off Reports: Autosummarize what changed, who owns it, and what to pay attention to

Allocore now has the confidence to scale development without sacrificing quality, using Entelligence as a review partner that never sleeps.
