The factory,
opened up.
Everyone is selling AI that writes code. The useful question is what happens after it does.
Brief
One hour. We write down what you actually need.
Specification
Approved, testable, and the thing the price is fixed against.
Build
AI drafts. People review. Every gate recorded.
Release
Signed provenance, a bill of materials, a human approval.
Run
Incidents, security, dependencies and enhancements, monthly.
What AI does
- Drafts code to an approved spec
- Writes tests, docs and migrations
- Ports legacy mappings
- Fixes first-pass defects
What AI never does
- Decide what to build
- Approve its own work
- Merge to your main branch
- Release, or touch data outside scope
What you get
- Acceptance certificates
- Architecture decisions and test reports
- Runbooks and API docs
- A kill switch that stops agents cold
The kill switch is not a slide: it stops the agents, and the path is drilled on a schedule — a control that exists but never runs is not a control.
