The AI-assisted delivery lifecycle, as a system

Seven gated stages. Nothing advances without passing its gate — that is the entire point. Intent becomes a testable spec; a build becomes evidence; evidence becomes a release.

  1. 01

    Idea

    Frame the problem as a falsifiable hypothesis.
    OUTPUT
    Problem statement · success criteria
    GATE
    Worth building? Measurable?
  2. 02

    Requirements

    Convert intent into executable acceptance criteria.
    OUTPUT
    Acceptance spec · constraints
    GATE
    Can a test prove this is done?
  3. 03

    Design

    Map the system before generating any code.
    OUTPUT
    Architecture · interfaces · contracts
    GATE
    Are boundaries explicit?
  4. 04

    Build

    AI-assisted implementation against the spec.
    OUTPUT
    Working increments · PRs
    GATE
    Does each increment pass smoke tests?
  5. 05

    Validation

    Adversarial checks, eval harness, contract tests.
    OUTPUT
    Eval report · coverage · failure log
    GATE
    Does evidence support the claim?
  6. 06

    Release

    Ship behind gates with rollback rehearsed.
    OUTPUT
    Tagged release · runbook
    GATE
    Is rollback rehearsed?
  7. 07

    Learn

    Capture deltas into playbooks and the signal deck.
    OUTPUT
    Field note · playbook update
    GATE
    What changes next cycle?
