How we build, and what checks it

A large share of the first draft is written with AI assistance. None of it merges until a named engineer has read it.

Who does what

The AI drafts, a person signs

Every activity on a project has a named first author, a named reviewer and a named sign-off, and the named engineer is the person you meet at the increment demo.

The review gate

Four checks before anything merges

In order, on every change, with the reviewer's name on the record.

01

Does what the increment said

The scoped plan lists what each increment ships; a change that does something else goes back.
02

Safe to run

Inputs validated, no secrets in source, and a test for anything that touches your data.
03

Readable by your team

Your team inherits the code, so a change only its author can read is rewritten.
04

Deploys from a clean checkout

The pipeline runs on every change; a change that needs a hand-run step is not finished.
