Foundary

Governed Agentic Delivery for Enterprise

Dispatch AI agents through a 5-station governed pipeline. Every commit is validated. Every run is audited. Every gate is deterministic.

5-station pipeline
Tamper-evident audit trail
No admin override
Multi-agent orchestration

5 stations. Every agent. Every time.

Agents don't merge code — they pass through gates. Each station has deterministic requirements. No station can be skipped.

Plan
Validates task scope and plan structure before any code is written.
plan artifact scope gate
Implement
Agent builds within scope constraints. UI work requires design governance.
live docs design review
Verify
Deterministic quality gates — tests, lint, security, coverage, E2E.
E2E tests lint security audit
Review
Scope creep detection, debug code check, AI-assisted review pass.
scope check AI review
Deploy
PR created with full audit trail. All prior artifacts verified before merge.

5 layers of structural governance

Governance isn't a policy document. It's enforced at every integration point — from commit-level enforcement to org-level rulesets.

Commit-level Enforcement

Commits blocked without a valid pipeline run ID attached. No pipeline, no commit.

CI/CD Enforcement

Required status check on every PR. CI validates gate artifacts match the audit log.

Org Ruleset

Force pushes blocked at the org level. Branch protection cannot be bypassed, even by admins.

Agent Session Gates

Automated gates run after every agent session. Gates block until all requirements are satisfied.

Core Principle

Governance is not optional.

There is no admin override in Foundary. No escape hatch. No "just this once." Every agent, every run, every commit passes through the same gates.

This is what makes agentic delivery credible at enterprise scale — not policies, but structural enforcement that cannot be bypassed.

No admin override — by design

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Foundary orchestrates coordinated agent dispatch through a structured hierarchy. A team lead coordinates specialized agents, with every handoff governed by deterministic gates.

Structured Agent Hierarchy

A lead agent coordinates a Planner and Builder. Each agent operates within its defined lane.

Automated Completion Gates

Gate evaluation triggers automatically after every agent session. Agents cannot self-report completion — gates verify it.

Gates Block, Not Log

Gates are blocking, not advisory. The pipeline stalls until requirements are met. No pass-through on partial compliance.

Deterministic Post-Dispatch Stations

Verify and Review stations run after agent dispatch completes — outside agent control, always reproducible.

Tamper-proof audit trail on every run

Every pipeline run produces a tamper-evident structured audit log. Agent attribution, timestamps, gate results — sealed and verifiable.

Tamper-Evident Audit Trail

Every event is cryptographically linked to the previous. Retroactive tampering is detectable.

Agent Attribution

Every action is attributed: which agent, which pipeline run, on which machine, at what time.

Real-time Compliance Dashboard

Monitor pipeline runs, gate pass rates, and agent activity across all repos in one view.

From spec to governed software

Foundary integrates with the Agentic Harness app factory. Clients submit a spec and receive governed software — with a full audit trail.

01

Submit Spec

Client submits application spec via angel-agents at app.agenticharness.ai

02

Provision Repo

Harness creates a GitHub repo with Foundary pre-installed and configured

03

Governed Build

Agent team builds the app through all 5 governed pipeline stations

04

Gates Validate

Every change validated by deterministic gates before it can progress

05

Deliver with Proof

Client receives governed software with a sealed, tamper-proof audit record

"Agentic development only becomes credible
when it is governed."

Without governance, AI-assisted delivery is prompt theater. Impressive in demos. Unacceptable in production. Foundary makes governance structural — not aspirational.

Approvals are durable

Every gate approval is recorded, timestamped, and hashed. No approval is ephemeral.

Runs are recorded

Every pipeline run produces a sealed event log. What happened is knowable, always.

Execution is policy-bound

Agents operate within defined constraints. Policy is structural, not advisory. No escape hatches.
