Uncompromising Continuous Delivery for regulated industries

The Problem

Version conflicts everywhere validate · paradigm	Wiki pages go stale books · templates	Reconstructed after the fact pipeline · release
Takes months, not minutes scan · risk	Proof lives in 10 different tools validate · guides	Scans run too late to matter scan · commands
Requirements live apart from tests specs · test	Tribal wisdom, not shared systems design · templates	Big bang deployments, fingers crossed release · pipeline
Same docs, different date risk · templates	Approvals slow without adding safety pipeline · validate	Nobody knows what's in production release · scan

DORA research proves heavyweight approvals backfire—they increase risk.
Elite teams prove you can have both — speed and compliance.

The Solution

DORA proves elite performers store everything in version control.
_{Not just code—configurations, infrastructure, specifications, tests, and deployment automation.}

Ready to Release "Ready to release at any time, for any team." Extensible CLI that isolates teams from tooling complexity. Docker encapsulation ensures platform independence. Every commit validated. Every artifact traceable. Install → · Extend →

Everything as Code "Trace, version, review, and automate everything." Requirements, docs, compliance as executable artifacts. Not documents that drift—code that runs. Full traceability. Full auditability. Always. Paradigm → · Commands →

One source of truth. One workflow. One audit trail.

---

How It Works

One commit. Validated build. Auditable release.

Word documents Executable specs Specs →

Wiki pages that drift Generated from code Templates →

Manual checklists Automated gates Validate →

Audit spreadsheets Git history Pipeline →

Months of prep Always ready Scan →

The result: Audit-ready documentation as a byproduct of your pipeline, not a bottleneck before release.
Understand the paradigm → · See the compliance-velocity paradox →

Why It Works

DORA research proves regulated industries achieve elite performance:

Deployment frequency

Commit to production

Change failure rate

The difference isn't less compliance—it's automated compliance.
_{Small validated changes · Continuous evidence capture · Traceability in every commit}

_{This repository uses R2R and EAC to build itself—living proof of the paradigm.}
