Case Study: Riskfuel reduces onboarding time with Swimm

How is Spending 55% Less Time Onboarding New Employees With Riskfuel Swimm

Riskfuel, a rapidly growing Toronto-based startup that builds neural networks to accelerate quantitative models for the financial industry, needed a better way to onboard employees and keep internal documentation current. Their team struggled with inconsistent, manually maintained docs stored in GitHub, making it hard to trust whether documentation matched the code and slowing down collaboration across diverse technical disciplines. Swimm helped address this challenge with its code-coupled documentation platform and Playlists.

By implementing Swimm, Riskfuel created a centralized, searchable documentation repository linked directly to the codebase, so docs stay automatically updated as the code changes. The result was a 55% reduction in onboarding time, from about 55 hours per employee to 25 hours, saving 150 hours for every five new hires. Swimm also improved developer productivity and gave Riskfuel a more organized, scalable documentation process.
