Public Development Status
Built in public-facing layers.
Verified before we call it ready.
TICS and TICA are under active controlled development. This page deliberately avoids historical internal version numbers and obsolete phase labels. It describes maturity by evidence: what foundations exist, what is being actively developed, what remains under controlled validation, and what is still product direction.
Important: this is a public product-status summary, not an engineering release certificate. A feature described here should not be interpreted as production-certified unless it has separately passed the applicable acceptance and deployment gates.
01 / Maturity Model
Separate what exists from what we intend to build.
Implemented Foundation01
TICS operating foundation
The platform has moved well beyond a static concept. Core application architecture and operational workflow foundations exist and continue to evolve.
- Connected operational application structure
- Inventory, procurement and receiving surfaces
- Role and workflow foundations
- Operational Intelligence direction integrated into the application
Active Development02
TICA project intelligence
TICA is being developed as durable project and operational intelligence rather than a disposable conversational assistant.
- Durable project knowledge
- Evidence-qualified reasoning
- Engineering and repository awareness
- Governed build and verification direction
Controlled Validation03
Workflow and acceptance hardening
Capabilities must survive real workflow validation, regression testing and governed deployment before they can be treated as accepted.
- End-to-end workflow validation
- Regression and contradiction checks
- Deployment and live-state verification
- Evidence and acceptance gating
Product Direction04
Increasing governed autonomy
The longer-term direction is for TICA and the surrounding TICS ecosystem to perform more engineering and operational work autonomously while retaining explicit authority boundaries.
- Broader operational reasoning
- Cross-system project intelligence
- Bounded autonomous execution
- Provider-independent local-first intelligence
02 / What Status Means
Development progress is not the same thing as production acceptance.
Why we do not publish an artificial percentage
A single “85% complete” number hides too much. TICS contains application workflows, intelligence, deployment governance, validation and infrastructure concerns with different maturity levels. Evidence by capability is more useful than a cosmetic completion number.
Why historical build numbers are omitted
Internal builds move quickly and can be superseded by later evidence. The website therefore describes current public maturity rather than claiming a historical version is authoritative. The accepted live artifact and its verification evidence remain the authority.
03 / Public Status Decision Model
Four questions before we make a stronger public claim.
01Does it exist?
Source code or a visible interface is evidence of implementation, not completion.
02Does it work end-to-end?
The capability must perform the intended workflow rather than only pass a narrow local check.
03Has regression been accounted for?
Relevant existing behavior must remain intact and unexplained failures cannot be treated as a pass.
04Has the delivered artifact been verified?
The actual package or live deployment must match the capability being claimed.
04 / Release Discipline
Our intended path from code to accepted capability.
01Build
Implement the smallest technically correct change against the current authoritative source.
02Verify
Run focused checks plus the applicable regression and acceptance inventory.
03Deploy
Use governed deployment with package, version and live-state verification.
04Accept
Call capability complete only when the evidence supports that conclusion.
