Fairway

Collaborative problem-solving · governed delegation

Collaborate while the problem and proof are uncertain. Delegate one bounded slice when its result can be independently checked. Fairway keeps decisions, sessions, reviews, and authority boundaries durable across runs. When an execution surface explicitly submits source-qualified observations and evaluator results, Fairway retains those facts too.

Complete one bounded task Evaluate Fairway

Coding agents and optional Seaway execute runs. Git, CI/CD, trackers, and identity systems retain their own authority.

One durable control record

Move between collaboration and delegation without losing the engineering story.

The model operates across architecture, implementation, review, CI/CD, deployment, and operations. It is not another SDLC phase, and it does not treat prompt length as task readiness.

Work coordination

Implemented

Keep tasks, lanes, worktrees, sessions, ownership, waits, and next actions durable across agent runs.

Tasks · lanes · worktrees · sessions · readiness

Engineering continuity

Implemented

Resume after context loss or provider replacement without making chat history the system of record.

Track memory · cold starts · handoffs · waits

Operating knowledge

Implemented

Carry source-grounded project knowledge and reusable engineering rules across work items.

Knowledge packets · rule packs · provenance · freshness

Assurance and profiles

Implemented + planned

Map recorded facts to bounded readiness claims, then compose them into specialized execution profiles.

The system boundary

Coordinate the work without absorbing the systems that perform it.

Fairway connects durable work to zero or more execution runs. Facts cross the boundary; task, review, and promotion authority do not.

Across replaceable harnesses

Keep the engineering facts when the model, provider, or execution loop changes.

Fairway now accepts a small versioned record contract from execution surfaces. Analysis stays task-local and read-only: incompatible cohorts are not averaged, missing telemetry stays missing, and evaluator output never becomes approval.

Source-qualified records

Implemented

Append external runs, bounded observations, and named evaluator results with atomic validation and replay-safe identities.

Zero / one / many runs · safe artifact references · privacy exclusions

Verified-outcome readback

Experimental

Report one compatible task-local cohort and expose missing, estimated, or unavailable usage denominators instead of inventing precision.

Attempts · explicit actions · evaluator outcomes · usage attribution

Trajectory advisory

Experimental

Cite repeated failures, repeated actions, or live-session evidence gaps so a supervisor can decide whether to change strategy.

Cited facts · false-positive limits · no automatic redirect

The working loop

Collaborate on the problem. Delegate the bounded work.

Verification cost—not model capability—sets the delegation boundary. Evidence can challenge the result and return the work to collaboration before promotion.

Collaborate

Discover the product need, constraints, owning boundary, and proof while uncertainty remains.

Bound

Name the owner, dependencies, acceptance, risk, and independently checkable result.

Delegate

Attach one provider, subagent, thread, or utility to execute the bounded slice.

Verify

Link reproducible tests, CI, environment proof, and safe artifacts to the claim.

Challenge

Let independent review or conflicting evidence reopen the diagnosis when needed.

Promote

Cross merge, release, deploy, or live boundaries only through the authority that owns them.

Operational readback

Inspect the cited Quality Record without turning the dashboard into an approval console.

The read-only dashboard projects the same intent, evidence, verification, judgment, promotion, outcome, and lesson states as the CLI. Missing, unavailable, conflicting, and externally owned facts stay visible instead of becoming a generated score.

First value in minutes

Start with one bounded result, not the whole operating model.

Initialize Fairway in a clean repository, start one task, attach passing evidence, verify the boundary, and close the work. Add lanes, watchers, shared views, and policy profiles only when the project needs them.

Authority boundary

Evidence informs promotion. It never silently grants it.

Coding agents implement. Reviewers judge. Source control merges. CI verifies. Identity systems authenticate. Operators deploy and run live actions. Fairway makes the handoffs and proof accountable.
