# Overview

An executable, policy-aware governance engine that checks designs automatically before they reach production, so architecture keeps pace with AI-speed delivery.[^s1]

Organization: Wells Fargo. Period: 2025 – present.

# Read the original

The case study is on muthub.org: [Architecture-as-Code Control Plane](https://muthub.org/initiatives/architecture-as-code).

Making the specification the contract an AI must fulfil can, provided the spec stays anchored to the code and machines check conformance.
