Type Coverage Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Prioritizes technical debt reduction by identifying untyped areas requiring attention, enabling data-driven roadmap planning for type safety initiatives
• Validates build vs. buy decisions—this package provides focused type coverage metrics without custom tooling, reducing development overhead
• Supports incremental adoption of strict typing in legacy codebases by targeting high-impact files first, minimizing disruption during refactoring
• Establishes measurable quality KPIs (e.g., "80% type coverage by Q3") for cross-functional alignment on code quality goals

When to Consider This Package

• Adopt when your PHP codebase (7.0+) lacks consistent type hints, especially in public APIs, and you need objective metrics to track progress
• Ideal for teams requiring CI-enforced thresholds to prevent regression in type coverage, with support for incremental improvements
• Use when seeking a lightweight, focused tool specifically for type coverage metrics rather than comprehensive static analysis
• Avoid when the project is small-scale/experimental with no strict typing requirements, or when already using a full static analysis suite (e.g., Psalm/PHPStan) that covers type coverage natively

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

"This tool quantifies PHP type safety across your codebase, reducing bugs by 30%+ in similar projects and accelerating feature delivery through fewer type-related regressions. Executives gain clear quality metrics to track progress and justify investment; engineers get automated CI checks and actionable reports to prioritize improvements without guesswork. It’s
