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.

What you own, and from when
Nothing is held back to keep you: the record below is the same on every project.
| Artifact | In your hands from |
|---|---|
| Source repository | The first commit |
| Cloud account and infrastructure | Discovery, in your name |
| Deployment pipeline | The first increment |
| Runbook | Handover, walked through over 2 sessions |
| Our access | Revoked on the handover date |
