01 Context Before Judgment
Assemble the business before the operator starts
Calendar, messages, docs, meeting history, tasks, client notes, and current commitments are pulled into the working surface before a session begins.
Read the context storyThe Gauges Green Harness
Install the operating layer behind senior work
Gauges Green runs client work through a harness that keeps context current, shapes agentic PDLC delivery briefs, and checks drafts before they leave.
It tracks scorecards and points attention at work likely to get dropped.
Judgment still belongs to the operator. The harness makes the state of the work visible before the next call.
~/harness/scorecard
6/9 pillars at target. Agent Performance is the load-bearing gap.
- Verification stack 92% L1 and L2 active
- Agent metrics 90% poll scripts shipped
- Watchdog probes 75% 5 active / 8 target
- Code hygiene 85% 2 short of target
- CI/CD 100% pre-push gate enforcing
- Agent Performance 55% largest lever
$ recommended path: tighten agent performance
What Gets Installed
- Context stays current.
- Meetings become memory.
- Intent becomes a delivery brief.
- Tests, review, release, and monitoring travel with the work.
- Drafts get checked before they leave.
- Scorecards stay visible.
- Dropped work gets surfaced.
02 Agentic PDLC
Turn intent into a path from brief to production
AI coding agents expose informal product delivery. The harness makes the delivery brief, acceptance criteria, test plan, risk class, release path, owner, and observation plan visible before work moves.

Check the work before it leaves the practice
Critique checks design and reasoning. Snitch reviews outbound sends. Source-fidelity gates block unsupported claims. The system turns standards into safeguards instead of reminders.

Grade the function with evidence attached
Scorecards make operating quality visible: whether the work reached production, where it slowed down, and what escaped the system.

Study the public-safe harness
The public repo includes the launcher, boot compiler, synthetic demo agent, gate examples, scorecard schema, and subsystem docs without private client data.
Open the public demoHow It Works Today
The services practice is the business. The harness sits underneath it. Extending it to another operator means adding that operator's calendar, email, client channels, practice rules, and quality gates.
Today, that happens as hands-on setup. A standalone product should come later, after the practice proves which parts are repeatable.
