§1 Enterprise

Unreviewable agent output is an audit problem

When agents write most of the code, “a human approved the PR” stops being evidence of anything. Regulators, auditors, and your own security team will ask what the approval was based on. ADLC gives you an answer: a gate-by-gate evidence trail, produced by machines, readable by humans.

§2 The evidence

From ticket to merge, every verdict recorded

  1. 01

    Ticket

    Executable spec, dials set at triage

  2. 02

    Gates

    spec-lint · premortem · rails-guard · hollow-test · prosecute

  3. 03

    gate-manifest

    Every verdict recorded as a machine-readable artifact

  4. 04

    Merge

    Approved on evidence, not vibes

Every gate emitsPASSFAILATTESTverdicts your auditors can read without an engineer translating.
§3 Rollout

Pilot → rails → org-wide

  1. Stage 1PilotOne team, full gates, conservative dials. Two weeks to the first prosecuted merge.
  2. Stage 2RailsFreeze org-wide conventions as rails: CI gates, protected specs, calibrated review.
  3. Stage 3Org-wideNative integrations for every agent your teams use. Same gates everywhere.
