Opus can one-shot a simple Jira clone in under five minutes. I haven’t seen any of their work, but this “digital twin” story sounds like a marketing play.

I agree that productivity is very subjective too, in my experience a team of three experienced developers could build a lot in three months even before AI.

The thing they're building here is specifically a clone of Jira that duplicates the official Jura API well enough that they can use it for integration testing without being held to Jira rate limits.

They do that by running the official client libraries against their implementation to make sure the functionality is all covered.
