Engineering decision
Adopt AI-assisted workflows with human engineering review
AI workflows were introduced as engineering leverage while preserving review standards and accountability.
Context
AI-assisted development could improve productivity, but quality and ownership still needed explicit engineering controls.
Options
- Avoid AI workflows until the process was fully mature
- Introduce cross-repository AI workflows while keeping human review standards
Decision
Design and ship a cross-repository AI agent platform with review discipline intact.
Trade-off
The approach required governance and clear expectations, but allowed practical adoption without lowering standards.
Outcome
AI-assisted development workflows became part of the delivery system while retaining engineering accountability.
