Home/How the review process works

Reviewers that work alone, and a judge that checks the code.

MegaLens is for developers who code with AI agents and want a check before AI mistakes reach their git history. Here is how a review works, step by step.

Up to four reviewers

Selected from different companies

Verified only with evidence

A judge must quote the code

The single-model problem

When you ask one AI model to review your code, you get one perspective. That model brings its own strengths, weaknesses, and assumptions. It will catch some issues and miss others. Every model does.

The result: you get a single opinion, and bugs that one model tends to miss can go unnoticed.

What MegaLens is not

MegaLens is not a linter. It ignores formatting and syntax and looks for logic, security and behaviour bugs. Keep your linter for style.

MegaLens runs when you or your AI tool ask for a review, so it can catch problems before a branch is pushed. It does not yet gate pull requests automatically.

The review, step by step

Independent reviewers look at your code first. A separate judge then checks what they found.

Step 1

Reviewers

MegaLens selects up to four AI reviewers from different companies. They do not see each other's work. Each one reads your code on its own. Each result names the models that actually took part.

Why independent:

Models from different companies are trained differently and tend to miss different things. Because each one works alone, one reviewer's mistake does not shape another's. A bug that only one reviewer sees still reaches the list.

Step 2

One list

The reviews are merged into one list of findings. Duplicates are combined, and each finding gets a severity, plus a file and line when you sent the code.

Why one list:

Your coding tool reads one list, not four transcripts.

Step 3

The judge

A separate judge checks each finding against your code. It marks a finding verified only when it can quote code that is really in what you sent. It must say whether the code can be reached, or that it can't tell. It can lower a severity label, never raise it. A finding it cannot back is marked unverified or disputed.

Why a judge:

Without one, you get a pile of findings with no filter. Some will be false alarms. Some will be overstated. These checks still let some false alarms through, and can leave a severity too high.

Step 4

Your coding tool decides

Your tool receives the findings, sorted by severity.

Now it makes decisions. Which findings to act on. Which fixes to apply.

MegaLens reviews. Your coding tool decides what to change.

What this changes

1. Different reviewers

Reviewers from different companies tend to have different blind spots, so a bug one of them misses may be seen by another. Each one works alone, so one reviewer's mistake does not spread to the others.

2. Claims need evidence

A finding is verified only when the judge can quote the code that proves it. Findings raised by only one reviewer are kept and checked the same way, because a single reviewer can be the one that is right.

The flow at a glance

1

Reviewers work independently

MegaLens selects up to four reviewers from different AI companies. Each one reads your code on its own.

2

Findings are merged into one list

Duplicates are merged and details are normalized. No raw transcript noise.

3

A judge checks each finding against the code

A finding is verified only when the judge can quote the code that proves it. Otherwise it is marked unverified or disputed.

4

Your coding tool receives the list and decides

Structured findings and clear priorities. Your tool decides what to fix.
