Beyond AI coding: governed software delivery.

Coding assistants help one developer in one file. The Software Factory governs the lifecycle. Here's how the categories actually differ.

Book a pilot Architecture overview
Coding assistant vs Software Factory
  1. Scope. Coding assistant: One file, one developer. Software Factory: Goal → mission → evidence → release.
  2. Context. Coding assistant: Files in the open editor. Software Factory: Vector + graph memory across the estate.
  3. QA. Coding assistant: Run tests if you remember. Software Factory: Strategy, BDD, Playwright, evidence per mission.
  4. Release readiness. Coding assistant: External to the tool. Software Factory: Evidence-backed go/no-go with hardware-token gate.
  5. Governance. Coding assistant: Local to the IDE. Software Factory: Org-wide policy-as-code, signed ledger.
