Evidence review
What the assessment reviews.
The paid readiness assessment reviews observable delivery surfaces and hidden boundary signals across product, commercial, operational, and governance domains. It is evidence-backed, agent-assisted, and human/operator-reviewed. It is not a deep codebase scan, security certification, legal review, or automated analysis product.
SDF starts with delivery fundamentals that already matter: good boundaries, reviewable changes, verification evidence, risk management, proven design patterns, and disciplined handoff. The difference is that those practices now need to work with agents in the loop.
The assessment also looks at whether the feedback loop can stay useful as AI-assisted work scales: focused checks while work is being shaped, fuller verification before handoff, and clear rationale when a narrower verification path is used.
CI and test signals
Whether the repo has visible verification surfaces that can support governed delivery.
Review workflow and approval paths
How work reaches review, who approves it, and where review expectations are visible.
Evidence trail and PR structure
Run logs, PR evidence, acceptance criteria, and traceable delivery notes where they exist.
Ownership and delivery controls
Signals for ownership, release confidence, and customer-owned approval boundaries.
Hidden critical domains
Product rules, commercial commitments, operational ownership, permissions, provider coupling, persistence, and approval authority that may need explicit human review.
AI-assisted development practices
How AI-assisted work is already entering the delivery process and where governance gaps appear.
