§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

- 04MergeApproved on evidence, not vibes
Machine gates emitPASSFAILwith exit codes; the two human gates recordATTEST— verdicts your auditors can read without an engineer translating.
$ adlc review-calibration --review-cmd "adlc review --base {base}" --plants 3 ✓ PASS: planted-defect recall met the configured threshold
The command and exit code are real; the verdict line is this record's one-line summary of the result, not a verbatim transcript.
§3 Rollout
Pilot → rails → org-wide
- Stage 1PilotOne team, full gates, conservative dials, through to the first prosecuted merge.
- Stage 2RailsFreeze org-wide conventions as rails: CI gates, protected specs, calibrated review.
- Stage 3Org-wideNative integrations for every agent your teams use. Same gates everywhere.
