Change Failure Rate Benchmark
Change failure rate is the DORA metric most often mis-measured at the source. Different teams define "failure" differently, they count changes at different granularities, and a single number reported by two teams can encode wildly different things. Four inputs above place a specific team on the DORA performance distribution while making the definition scope explicit, so the placement holds its meaning across sources.

FAQ
What does this tool tell you?

What affects the result most?
Place your team's change failure rate on the DORA performance distribution. Inputs: monthly deploys, failed changes, definition scope, team domain.
How should I use the result?
The calculation is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same output — so the most useful workflow is to vary one input at a time and see which factor moves the result most. That tells you where to focus your attention before committing to a decision.
