Policy gates
Define what must be true before a run can change code, data, infrastructure, or production.
Enforced
The autonomous software factory
From intent to production.
Seldonnic begins with the requirement your team already owns and turns it into a governed execution contract—resolving gaps, coordinating code and release, proving acceptance, and preserving the evidence needed to keep the source record current.
Request early accessA requirement enters. Software, evidence, and a source-update package leave.
The premise
Software delivery is a control problem, not a prompt.
Jira or another requirements system can remain where work begins. Seldonnic carries the execution record—keeping decisions, code, releases, and production feedback connected without claiming to be another ticket queue.
01
One run. The whole lifecycle.
Every run starts from a referenced source requirement. Seldonnic makes missing context visible, ties decisions to the revision they resolve, and prepares completion evidence for the source record when the work is done.
Start from a Jira ticket or another existing requirement record, preserve its reference and revision, and turn it into explicit scope, constraints, dependencies, owners, and acceptance conditions.
Run outputA versioned execution contract that references its source and makes unknowns visible.
Illustrative example
One requirement, carried through.
A simplified example of how a source requirement becomes a governed run without implying a ticketing integration. It illustrates the system model—not a customer deployment.
Source record · SEL-184 (Jira)
Add regional release controls to a customer-facing payments service without slowing routine delivery.
- 01
Source intake
The run records Jira issue SEL-184 as its source, preserves the current revision, and normalizes the requested outcome without replacing Jira.
- 02
Readiness
The run identifies missing regional ownership, health thresholds, and rollback conditions, then frames focused questions for the right people.
- 03
Decisions
Keep the existing service boundary. Use policy-driven rollout stages, health gates, and explicit rollback triggers.
- 04
Execution
Coordinate rollout policy, deployment workflow, telemetry tags, recovery actions, and operator documentation.
- 05
Verification & release
Exercise healthy and degraded paths, then advance only while regional health gates pass and a tested rollback path remains available.
- 06
Return package
Produce decisions, pull requests, gate results, rollout status, production outcomes, and follow-up work in a package ready for the owner to add to SEL-184.
02
The work leaves evidence.
A run is not a stream of suggestions. It produces durable artifacts that people and systems can inspect, review, and reuse—including the status and evidence requirement owners need to keep the source record current.
ArtifactWhat survivesWhy it matters
Execution contract
Source requirement, scope, constraints, dependencies, acceptance conditions
The original request stays linked to a testable, versioned contract.
Architecture decisions
Options considered, tradeoffs, selected path, rationale
Teams can understand why the system took its current shape.
Code and changesets
Application, infrastructure, configuration, migration, docs
The implementation remains coherent across system boundaries.
Tests and verification
Checks run, results, failures, remediations, residual risk
The claim that software works is backed by inspectable evidence.
Instrumentation
Signals, dashboards, alerts, traces, run identifiers
Production behavior is designed before the release begins.
Rollout plans
Stages, health gates, ownership, pause and rollback conditions
Change enters production through a controlled, reversible path.
Source-update package
Questions, status, decisions, pull requests, releases, completion evidence
Requirement owners can keep Jira current without turning Seldonnic into another ticket queue.
Operational learnings
Incidents, anomalies, fixes, decisions fed into future work
The factory improves from what the software actually does.
03
Autonomy you can govern.
Autonomy is useful when its authority is explicit. Seldonnic is designed so organizations can decide where the system acts, where it asks, and what it must prove.
Optional approvals
Put people at the questions and high-judgment decisions that merit review without turning every step into a handoff.
ConfigurableAudit trails
Preserve inputs, actions, tool calls, evidence, and rationale as a single run record.
ContinuousReversibility
Plan rollback conditions and recovery actions before a release is eligible to move.
RequiredSecrets boundaries
Keep credentials server-side and expose only the minimum capability a task needs.
ScopedHuman override
Pause, redirect, or stop a run without losing the evidence produced up to that point.
Always available04
Built for consequential change.
Start where software delivery crosses enough systems, teams, or risk that “generate the code” is nowhere near the whole job.
Legacy modernization
Starting intentMove a bounded capability without freezing the roadmap.
Factory runMap behavior, decide seams, implement the migration, verify parity, stage the cutover.
Product delivery
Starting intentTake an existing customer or business requirement through to an operable release.
Factory runResolve ambiguity, coordinate the changeset, prove acceptance, instrument, and ship.
Internal platforms
Starting intentStandardize a repeated engineering path without adding another ticket queue.
Factory runEncode policy, provision the path, test the contract, and improve it from usage.
Regulated change
Starting intentMove software while preserving the evidence required for review.
Factory runApply gates, record decisions, verify controls, and retain the complete execution trail.
Early program
Bring us the workflow code generation does not solve.
We are working with a small number of teams to shape the first production deployments. Tell us where requirements enter today, which systems a change crosses, and where delivery still depends on fragile handoffs, unwritten decisions, or manual control.
