Method

A control loop, not a gamble.

Delivery quality comes from sequence, constraints, and reviewable checkpoints, not from speed alone.

Sequence

Four phases for controlled delivery

  1. 1

    Frame

    Define scope, ownership, dependencies, and non-negotiable constraints before writing implementation code.

  2. 2

    Probe

    Run a bounded slice with pass/fail checks, rollback paths, and fixed review points.

  3. 3

    Codify

    Turn validated behavior into contracts, checks, and runbooks that are easy to repeat.

  4. 4

    Operate

    Track drift and outcomes, then tighten controls as context changes.

Governance

What gets reviewed before moving forward

Scope drift review at each handoff.

Reliability and cost checks before scale-up.

Rollback readiness confirmed before release.

Operating cadence

How quality stays stable over time

  • Capture execution signals with enough context to diagnose drift.
  • Review reliability, budget, and quality on a fixed cadence.
  • Apply corrections to prompts, contracts, tooling, or process.
  • Escalate to human review when guardrails or confidence thresholds fail.

Re-run capable.

Budget-aware.

Reviewable by teammates.
