The friction every delivery team lives today
Velocity is up; the coordination surface around each change is up faster.
- → Infrastructure is authored by people who don't specialize in infrastructure.
- → Every change is gated because one misconfiguration can expose the entire estate.
- → Compliance, security, and NFRs are checked late — fueling remediation cycles that erode delivery cadence and team morale.
Nova absorbs all three — owned building blocks, separation of concerns, attested compliance up front.
Nova in one frame
You already recognize this pattern.
Central IT curates the golden image; Nova curates the cloud infrastructure. Owned, patched, attested, consumed by contract.
Nova's lane is the infrastructure beneath the application. AppSec stays with the application team.
Two principles that organize everything else
Two tenets discipline every other decision.
Sovereign boundary — Nova governs the delivery lifecycle; it does not reach upstream [1]. Integration with SDLC and PDLC happens exclusively through the contract surface.
Lower autonomous · higher attested — lower environments proceed through agentic automation; promotion requires deliberate human attestation [1]. The compute the platform makes; the choice the human keeps.
Live · Attested · Stays human
Live today — 41 capabilities across 12 domains; pilot confidence 0.800. One pane, no second source of truth.
Attested on promotion — qa, prod, dr require a named human approver distinct from the PR author.
Stays human — by design — confidence below the autonomy threshold triggers human escalation [1].
The boundary keeps us honest
In Nova's lane — infrastructure primitives, operational guardrails, CVE response at the infra layer.
Outside Nova's lane — application business logic, IDE & sprint workflows [1], AppSec, VM/bare-metal/OS lifecycles [1].
The line is the contract. Everything below it is Nova. Everything above it stays where it has always been.
The 18-month shape
Where CDLC meets SDLC + PDLC — through the contract surface, not above it.
α (now → Q4'26) Operating model + federated governance. β (Q1'27) Auto-published infra observability. γ (Q2'27) Runbook generation from telemetry. δ (Q3'27 → Q4'27) Audit ledger, tamper-resistant.
Nova absorbs no IDE, no editor, no sprint tool, no agent harness.
What we ask · What comes back
What works now. Deploying L1 & L2 stacks works today in the sandbox AWS account — 13 L1 primitives and 2 L2 modules, live-applied at confidence 0.800. Next steps: ingest greenfield pilot projects, promote from sandbox to production, integrate with the SPGE constitutional library, and serve as the infrastructure layer.
What we ask. Architecture endorsement. Runway to the next milestone.
Why now. Agentic SDLC is reshaping the delivery curve. What is barely keepable today — incident response, compliance reconciliation, security remediation — does not compress at the same rate as the velocity it has to keep pace with. By the end of 2027, the gap between delivery acceleration and operational absorption is the structural risk.
What comes back. The infrastructure foundation that absorbs the velocity. Metrics that tell us where to push next. Audit lineage that closes the regulatory question. The next milestone, by November 2026.
What we do not ask for: an IDE, a sprint tool, an author workflow, an upstream pipeline. Nova stays in its lane [1].
