FounderGate Core Control System
FounderGate Core Control System exists to make AI-assisted software development operable by a non-developer founder — without forcing the founder into terminal work, raw logs, raw GitHub actions, hidden AI claims, or fake approvals.
What it does
- Read the project-local .foundergate truth folder.
- Translate technical state into plain-English founder decisions.
- Display UNKNOWN when proof is missing instead of inventing green status.
- Govern branches, PRs, lanes, gates, and evidence packets.
- Keep the founder out of terminals and raw logs.
What it never does
- Not a full project-management platform.
- Not full portfolio analytics.
- Not global multi-project autonomous execution.
- No real gate approval execution before the Gate / Witness Engine is wired and proven.
Roadmap
Build phases
This module is delivered in disciplined phases. Each phase is proof-gated before the next begins — the light shows the intended flow, not completion.
- Project-local .foundergate truth folder
- Minimum active subset
- Truth dashboard that cannot invent state
- Role permissions & data classification
- Evidence requirements
- Gate / Witness wiring (via MOD-014)
Connected in the harness
Gate / Witness Engine
Turns dangerous work into one-action decisions and proof-bound witness ceremonies.
Audit Log / Proof Ledger / Release Label Engine
Append-only audit events, a proof ledger, and evidence-bound release labels.
Founder Operation Control Panel
A low-hand, plain-English control surface for the founder.
MOD-001 is a design roadmap. Pre-launch · Proof-gated · Not commercially available. Roadmap accepted does not equal product built. Internal proof does not equal outside proof.
