Pillar 03 · Design-to-Deploy · v2.0 Brand Architecture

QSO FORGE

A deterministic design-to-deploy platform. Governed build quality from audit to production — scoring every output before it ships, blocking what doesn't meet the gate.

Status Active · v2.0
Scoring Engine PC-AUDIT-003
Deploy Gate PC ≥ 75
QA Model Gemma 4
Governance PEMS · RC versioned
Pilots HOSP1 / 2 / 3
Deploy Gate — Active
PC ≥ 75
Every deliverable runs through PC-AUDIT-003 before deployment is permitted. Outputs below 75 are blocked at the Cloudflare gate. All three hospitality pilots currently fall below threshold — highest-priority risk in the active sprint.
HOSP1/2/3 — Below Gate
Overview

What FORGE Solves

FORGE answers the question every AI build team faces: how do you guarantee output quality before it reaches the client? Not with human review alone — with a scored, gated, auditable system that blocks bad work automatically and creates a traceable record of every decision.
