Reduce Delivery Risk in AI-Accelerated Software Systems
Make confident technical decisions in environments where AI speeds up delivery -- but also amplifies architectural and organizational mistakes.
I help CTOs and senior engineering leaders stabilize software delivery while adopting AI responsibly -- so teams move faster without accumulating invisible risk, brittle systems, or decision debt.
My work focuses on clarifying direction before execution:
- What problems are worth solving now
- What changes are safe to make next
- What risks AI is quietly introducing into your delivery system
This diagnostic-first approach is informed by Test-Driven Navigation (TDN) -- a navigation-focused evolution of TDD designed for AI-assisted development.
Start with a Delivery Risk & Direction Diagnostic
A short, focused engagement to surface hidden risks, clarify priorities, and determine whether deeper work is justified.
AI Is Fast. Your Delivery System Wasn’t Built for It.
AI dramatically increases output - but it also:
- Amplifies existing delivery weaknesses
- Hides quality decay behind velocity
- Shifts engineering effort from thinking to reacting
Most organizations are asking engineers to both:
- Decide where to go, and
- Manage how the system stays correct, reliable, and performant
At AI speed, that coupling no longer holds.
The Problem Isn’t AI
It’s Role Confusion
Human engineers are still best at:
- Deciding what should happen next
- Understanding business intent
- Navigating complex tradeoffs
AI is better at:
- Executing mechanics
- Maintaining consistency
- Enforcing constraints at scale
When those roles are blurred, delivery becomes unpredictable.
Test-Driven Navigation (TDN)
Test-Driven Navigation is an evolution of Test-Driven Development designed for AI-assisted software delivery.
In TDN:
- Humans focus on navigation (where are we going, what needs to change, what outcome we want)
- AI focuses on execution (how to implement, refactor, and maintain the system safely)
Tests define direction and boundaries, not manual micromanagement.
The result:
AI accelerates delivery without eroding quality or control.
TDN Restores Predictability at AI Speed
With TDN in place:
- Delivery becomes measurable and explainable
- Quality regressions surface early
- Engineers spend more time on intent and less on mechanical upkeep
- AI becomes a force multiplier, not a liability
This is not about writing more tests.
It’s about separating strategic intent from mechanical execution.
Executive Advisory for AI-Assisted Delivery
I work directly with CTOs and engineering leaders to:
- Diagnose AI-related delivery risk
- Introduce Test-Driven Navigation incrementally
- Realign engineering effort around navigation, not micromanagement
- Ensure AI usage increases revenue without increasing churn or defects
This is not training.
This is not a process rollout.
This is not a tool install.
It’s focused, executive-level intervention.
How We Work Together
- 90-day advisory engagement
- Bi-weekly sessions with you (and key engineering leads if needed)
- Review of delivery signals, tests, and AI interaction patterns
- Practical changes teams can adopt without stopping delivery
Outcome: faster delivery, clearer intent, and controlled risk.
This Is a Good Fit If You:
- Are a CTO/VP Engineering at a 50–300 person SaaS
- Are using (or planning to use) AI in software delivery
- Want leverage without sacrificing predictability
- Are accountable for both speed and quality
This Is Not a Fit If You:
- Want AI to “just go faster” without constraints
- Are looking for developer training or certification
- Are optimizing only for short-term velocity
