Proof

Not a pitch deck. We build and operate real systems with it.

The platform isn't a promise. It's the engine behind every real client Beacon. Each one is evidence it delivers.

No promise. Watch the platform do the work.

One wave of engineering work: from planning through parallelization to an honest forecast. Every step a real screenshot from the running platform. No mockup, no slides.

  1. beacon · Board
    Plan: One board. Humans and agents.
    01 / 07Planreal

    One board. Humans and agents.

    Work starts as a planned task on the same board where humans and agents collaborate, traceable from the first line.

  2. beacon-ide
    Spec: Spec first, then challenged.
    02 / 07Specmock

    Spec first, then challenged.

    The agent writes a spec: invariant, acceptance criteria, API contract. A second agent challenges it and finds the gap. Then the OK-Point: the human signs off.

  3. beacon · Task
    Fan-out: One task, fanned out across many agents.
    03 / 07Fan-outreal

    One task, fanned out across many agents.

    The integrator delegates the wave to several sub-agents, each in its own ephemeral worktree, all in parallel.

  4. beacon · Agents
    Sovereignty: Your fleet. Your model.
    04 / 07Sovereigntyreal

    Your fleet. Your model.

    A roster of specialised agents does the work, each running your own model (here Kimi K2.6, non-Claude) on your infrastructure. Sovereign by design.

  5. beacon · Velocity
    Throughput: Parallelization you can measure.
    05 / 07Throughputreal

    Parallelization you can measure.

    More agents, more finished work per week. The throughput jump is not a claim: it is in the velocity curve.

  6. Argus · Platform watch
    Ops · Argus: Argus watches production.
    06 / 07Ops · Arguspreview

    Argus watches production.

    Read-only platform watch: CI, services, releases, message delivery. When something degrades, Argus messages the project on the same channel it uses for CI.

  7. beacon · Forecast
    Forecast: An honest forecast, uncertainty included.
    07 / 07Forecastreal

    An honest forecast, uncertainty included.

    Monte-Carlo p50/p85/p95 from measured throughput. When the forecast is unsure, it says so, instead of inventing a number.

Sovereignty

Your infrastructure. Your model. Your keys.

No lock-in: the platform runs where you choose, and the model stays yours.

The painFor most AI tooling, adopting AI means shipping your code and data to someone else's cloud, on someone else's model. For a sovereign organization, that is the dealbreaker.

The shiftAI-native doesn't require surrendering your infrastructure, or your model choice. The platform runs where you choose, and the model is yours to bring: your provider, your keys, your contract.

The proofRun it on-prem in your own datacenter, or single- or multi-tenant and Swiss-resident: you choose the setup and where your code, IP and audit trail live at rest. The model is yours to bring: any provider, on your keys. When an agent calls a hosted model, that prompt goes to the provider you picked, a deliberate, visible trade-off, never a hidden default. No lock-in: not to a cloud, not to a model.

Traceability

Every step leaves a trace.

Every unit of work is a Task with an attributable trail: no change without an answer for it.

The painAI writes code no one can account for. For a regulated organization, a change nobody can explain is a non-starter.

The shiftAI-native doesn't mean black box. Every unit of work (human or agent) leaves an attributable trail.

The proofTask-only work model: no work without a Task. Each step is logged (who, what, when, on which Spec, with which model) and visible as a full activity timeline on every Task.

Control

You stay in control.

A few decisive human gates, guardrails for the rest: people decide and stay accountable.

The painOn autopilot, agents always ship something that runs. Left to themselves they over-create and duplicate: it works today and rots tomorrow, and nobody chose that path or can answer for it.

The shiftThe human stays in the driving seat: directing the agents, accountable for the outcome, deciding at the moments that matter. Not a review gauntlet: a few decisive control points, and the guardrails handle the rest.

The proofTwo OK Points frame the work: after the Spec (build it, or send it back) and before merge (a human integrator is the sole merger). Each halts until an explicit go. Agents execute; people decide, and stay accountable.

Built-in quality

Quality is a property, not a phase.

Guardrails enforced on every change by the system, not chased in review.

The painAI produces plausible code faster than any review can keep up. Quality bolted on at the end never scales to agent throughput.

The shiftQuality stops being a review step and becomes a property of the system: guardrails enforced automatically on every unit of work.

The proofThe Constitution and Engineering Practices as guardrails, deterministic Workflows, Spec Test Driven Development with the Spec as the source of truth, regression against the Domain Invariants, living Domain Docs, and a Definition of Done: every change passes them, or it does not land.

Built-in qualityenforced on every change
  • Constitution & Engineering Practices

    The guardrails every agent works within: the rules are set, not re-decided each unit.

  • Deterministic Workflows

    Every Task runs a codified Workflow, with checks. Same correct steps, every time.

  • Spec Test Driven Development

    The Spec is the source of truth. Tests before code; code follows the Spec.

  • Invariant regression

    Every change re-checked against the Domain Invariants that define the system.

  • Living documentation

    Domain Docs stay in sync: the system as it is, not as it was.

  • Definition of Done (DoD)

    Spec, coverage, contracts, docs: gated before merge.

Enforced on every change, not left to a reviewer.

Cost control

No surprise invoice.

Every Task runs on a known-priced model, so spend is attributable, down to the Task.

The painAI spend is an opaque, all-you-can-eat bill: you learn the number at month-end, and can't tell which work or which model drove it.

The shiftBecause every unit is a Task on a known-priced model, cost is attributable: per Task, per Session, per Workflow, per Project. Not a black box.

The proofBecause every unit of work is a Task on a known-priced model, spend is attributable today: drill down by Task, Session, Workflow and model, and swap a premium model for a cheaper one where it fits before you commit. Project budgets and caps that steer you before you overspend are on the roadmap. The cockpit is built to hold them.

Closed loop

From Idea to Ops, and back.

One unit of work spans Idea → Ship → Ops and back: what production teaches becomes the next Task.

The painMost AI tooling stops at the merge: code generated, and done. Shipping it, running it, and turning what you learn in production into the next priority stays disconnected. The Loop stays open, and the lessons never make it back.

The shiftOne system spans the whole loop: from idea to operations and back. Agents don't stop at merge; the same flow carries into production, and what's learned returns as sharper work.

The proofThe prioritized Lists of ideas feed the Loop: Spec → Build → Ship → Operations, AI-native in every phase. And Continuous Improvement runs at every level (Spec, Code Review, Workflows, Ops), carrying what you learn back to the Lists as sharper work.

Metrics & Forecasting

One plan. You and your agents. Live.

One plan for humans and agents, with forecasts from real throughput, not story points.

The painPM tools plan with make-believe estimates, and they're built for humans only. The agents doing the work aren't in the same plan, so it drifts from reality and from what the agents actually do.

The shiftOne plan, shared by humans and agents, live. The board you refine is the board the agents work; every change is mutual and instant. And the metrics come from real work, not story-point guesses.

The proofRoadmap and Backlog refinement: Milestones → Feature Sets → Tasks, with native agent support. Measured flow: lead & cycle time, flow efficiency, CFD, throughput. And a probabilistic forecast (Monte-Carlo p50/85/95) built on measured throughput, not estimates. Everything you see, the agent sees; everything the agent changes, you see instantly.

The foundation

It all stands on three primitives.

Identity, Memory, and a Task-Model: the substrate that makes everything above compound.

The painAgents without a substrate are ad-hoc: no stable identity, no memory, no accounting. That's why most "AI in the SDLC" never compounds.

The shiftbeacon gives agents a real operating substrate: the three primitives everything above is built on.

The proofIdentity, Memory, and a Task-Model. The Task-Model makes work traceable and costable; Identity makes control accountable; Memory closes the Loop.
