It's a nice idea to things like this _in theory_. Medium has something similar they called Snowflake - https://github.com/Medium/snowflake ... but note the disclaimer...

The problem with things like this is the typical engineering mindset, when shown a graphical or numerical analysis of their performance will zoom into analyse every detail and in the end it's just backed by the managers impressions and judgement.

For similar reasons I have a strong opinion that engineers shouldn't be paid performance related bonuses, because no matter what happens, it's just going to upset them - the best case - maximum bonus - just equates to a "meh". Better to pay a good base salary upfront ...

Anyway use tools like this with caution IMO.
