A delivery framework built for AI-augmented software teams.

Every Agile framework was designed for the same world: one where building software was the expensive, uncertain part of delivery. AI has collapsed that assumption. Verity was built for what comes next.

What the framework covers

Five Principles

Value pairs that define what AI-era teams prioritize. Production confidence over construction velocity. Calibrated trust over assumed correctness.

Four Roles

Delivery Lead, Product Steward, Quality Lead, and Engineer — each with expanded accountability for production outcomes, not just task completion.

Four Ceremonies + Triggered Practices

Appetite Session, Trust Standup, Evidence Review, and Calibration Retro replace their Agile equivalents. Two triggered practices fire on data signals, not calendars.

Three Gates

Construction, Hardening, and Production. Every Delivery Item passes all three before shipping. Gate 2 is where most teams currently have nothing.

Six Metrics

Four DORA metrics plus Gate Pass Rate and Time to Deliver Expected Value. Velocity is not a Verity metric.
