# Welcome to Iron Octopus

> What Iron Octopus is, who it's for, and where to start.

With AI, coding is easy. Software delivery is hard. Iron Octopus closes that gap: it gives AI the practices that great software teams rely on, so what you ship on Monday still works on Friday.

You bring the ideas and keep the controls. Iron Octopus plans the work, builds it, reviews every piece, and verifies every requirement before anything is released.

## What makes it different

> **Done means it works**
>
> Nothing counts as done until every requirement is verified, with the evidence saved and auditable.

> **Every change is reviewed**
>
> Iron Octopus reviews each piece of work, and the riskier the change, the closer the review. Issues go back for rework before release.

> **Built to fit your app**
>
> Every feature is planned and reviewed to fit your app's architecture, so each change builds on the last.

> **Rules that come built in**
>
> Proven delivery rules work from day one, with nothing to set up. Change them only if you want to.

## Who it's for

* **Founders and product owners** who are building with AI and need what they ship to keep working.
* **Technical founders and engineering teams** who want AI's speed without giving up review, verification and a full record.
