STRATA Protocol

The framework for governed AI-assisted software delivery — structured, traceable and repeatable.

What STRATA is

STRATA is a software delivery methodology built for the era of AI-assisted development. It treats the AI copilot as a governed actor operating inside a defined mandate — not as a productivity shortcut.

Stratum 1 — Classification

Classify before you specify. The project type determines documentation depth, risk tolerance, and the constraints applied to every AI session downstream.

Stratum 2 — Derivation

Business intent cascades into technical artifacts. Documents are derived from framing questions, not written from instinct.

Stratum 3 — Authority Chain

Every AI session is constitutionally bound. The copilot is a governed actor inside a hierarchy it cannot override.

Stratum 4 — Execution Loop

Phased, per-requirement development. No phase advances without human sign-off. Deviations are documented and fed forward as context.

Stratum 5 — Artifact Trail

Every decision, deviation, and sign-off is documented. The trail outlives the project and makes every future decision informed.

Start with Your Next Project

STRATA is a practice, not a prerequisite. Begin with classification on your current project. The framework reveals its value in the first session.

The Architecture

The Delivery Model

Built on STRATA

This platform is the first project governed by the STRATA Protocol.

Every architectural decision, every content derivation, and every phase of development followed the five strata.

The artifact trail lives in the repository. Track what is live and what is planned next on the Platform Roadmap.
