Align
Every build starts as a structured request, not a hallway conversation. A chat interview turns what you need into a Request Contract, priced and prioritized before a line of code exists.
The method
ADRIAN
ADRIAN is how we ship. A four-phase loop that turns a request into shipped, compliant software fast, powering Autopilot delivery and every Custom Engagement. Not a theory and not a deck — the way real work gets done here, published in full under MIT for anyone to read, fork, or argue with.
The loop
The method, in plain terms.
Four phases, run as a cycle rather than a plan. Every request goes through all four, and the last one feeds the next.
Software development used to be chess: study the board, plan ten moves ahead, commit to a strategy, execute it over months. AI-first development is squash — move fast, react to where the ball actually is, reposition constantly.
02 · 40–50% of the cycle
Implement
Agents build against the contract, and the original interview travels with it as context. The build knows why it exists, not just what to type.
03 · 15–25% of the cycle
Deliver
Staging first, then production, both confirmed. Your resident engineer signs off before anything ships, and you preview and approve it live.
04 · 5–10% of the cycle
Adapt
What we learn goes back into the agents themselves. The system that builds your software gets measurably better at building your software.
Open at the core
The thinking is open. The engine is ours.
ADRIAN is published in full under the MIT license: the four phases, the phase gates, the PM, Dev, and QA role specs, the Request Contract template, the agent instruction files, and the compliance mode switches for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, and government work. Use it, fork it, rename it. What stays ours is the engine that runs it at scale.
The framework is vendor-neutral on purpose, so a few names differ from ours: the open version calls the requirements bot BugLady, where yours is the Ramjet Widget. Same role in the loop — the spine that turns a request into a contract.
The proof is not the method deck. The proof is what ADRIAN ships: real systems, on time, compliant, and still improving a year later.
