Every change, built and proven
before it reaches you.
The Foundry is our build line. Every update to the platform, and any custom work we do for you, goes through it: built in a sandbox, tested by an independent checker, and stopped at a person's approval. It can't touch your data, and it can't ship anything on its own.
From a sentence you agree with to a change you've seen work.
Every build is judged against plain sentences, written before any code. If a sentence can't be proven, you hear about it.
The job is described
"Every Friday, list each project's hours against plan and flag any project more than 10% over."
We agree the acceptance sentences
Short, testable statements, for example: "A project with no planned hours is listed as 'no plan', never as 0% over." You sign off on them.
The Foundry builds it
In a sandbox with no access to customer data, no network beyond what the build needs, and no permission to release anything.
An independent checker grades it
A separate tester runs every sentence and every test against the code, and writes a one-line verdict.
You try it on a test copy
With realistic example data, before anything reaches your instance.
It ships when you say so
Your data is backed up first, the release is moved to your pinned copy, and every service is checked afterwards.
Four verdicts, and "looks fine" isn't one of them.
The checker grades against what the code was supposed to do. It never passes a build because nothing went wrong.
Every sentence was proven by running it.
Proven, with something you should know before you accept it.
At least one sentence wasn't proven. It names which one, and why.
The checker couldn't run something it needed. It says so rather than guess.
Guardrails the build line can't switch off.
Release to you on its own
It can commit code in its sandbox. Pushing to a live instance is refused by the operating system, not by policy.
Read or change your data
Builds run against test copies. A release that would write customer data is refused before it starts.
Approve its own work
The builder, the checker and the approver are three different parties. The last one is always a person.
