Same capabilities. Two framings. Left: how consultancies buy (project phases). Right: how product companies buy (continuous capabilities).
~20% of SDLC effort. This is where coding agents, QA automation, and CI/CD live. AIPMO deliberately stops before build — because that's the commodity layer now. The 80% before build is where humans were spending months and millions. That's what we compress to days.
In a Product Development lens, this maps to Engineering Execution (build sprints) and Release & GTM (deployment, launch, adoption). Both are increasingly automated — and increasingly decoupled from the planning intelligence above.
How Warren guides a new customer through each phase. Deterministic steps always happen in order — they're the gates and guaranteed outputs. Probabilistic methods are how Warren adapts to the customer's specific context.
Set deterministic triggers for OUTCOMES — what must be produced, what gates must be passed, what the customer receives. Let probabilistic capabilities figure out HOW — which questions to ask, how to extract insights, what patterns to surface from the customer's unique data. Not 100% scripted, not 100% freeform — the right mix.
Every phase has a required intake (what the customer must provide), deterministic steps (always execute, same sequence), probabilistic methods (Warren adapts to context), and a phase gate (customer sign-off before advancing).
