OODLC

OPEN OUTCOME DELIVERY LIFECYCLE

Deliver Outcomes.
Not Just Code.

ODLC is a new way to think about building. OODLC is the open system that makes it real.

THE PROBLEM

Today, we ship features.
But we don't know if we moved the outcome.

Teams optimize for the wrong signals. They measure output, not movement. Intent gets lost. Evidence is fragmented. AI accelerates noise.

We build faster. But not necessarily better.

TEAMS OPTIMIZE FOR

Code velocity
Task completion
Roadmaps
Functional silos

But outcomes drift.

THE PHILOSOPHY

ODLC = Outcome Delivery LifeCycle

A philosophy and framework. Instead of Feature to Code to Deploy, ODLC is Intent to Governed Execution to Evidence to Outcome Movement.

Intent

Explicit and versioned

Linkage

Every action links to an outcome

Evidence

Mandatory, not optional

Autonomy

Governed, never unchecked

Policy

Enforces safety and alignment

Movement

Measured, not assumed

ODLC treats business systems like living agents.

THE RUNTIME

OODLC = Open Outcome Delivery LifeCycle

The open-source runtime that implements ODLC. OODLC orchestrates Outcome Agents.

IT IS

A local control plane
A skill execution runtime
A policy engine
A governed LLM gateway
An audit-first system

IT IS NOT

A task manager
A chat wrapper
A workflow tool

HOW IT WORKS

From intent to outcome movement

Outcome
Intent Cascade
RunPlan
Governed Execution
Evidence
Audit + Policy
Outcome Movement

EVERY ACTION IS

Scoped
Approved
Audited
Linked to evidence

No orphan work.

No silent execution.

No invisible drift.

OUTCOME AGENTS

Autonomous. Never ungoverned.

OODLC runs Outcome Agents. Each agent operates within policy boundaries, executing governed skills to move outcomes forward.

01Observes evidence
02Decides next micro-intents
03Executes through approved skills
04Validates results
05Updates the outcome graph

WHY NOW

AI can generate code instantly.

Code ≠ outcome. Speed ≠ movement. Autonomy ≠ alignment.

Without governance, AI compounds mistakes faster. OODLC makes autonomy accountable.

Policy boundaries
Audit trails
Budget controls
Intent traceability
Evidence validation

ARCHITECTURE

Distributed-ready by design

OODLC separates Control Plane and Workers. In v0, it runs locally. But the architecture supports distributed operation.

Remote workers

Cluster orchestration

Policy bundles

Governed scaling

Designed for autonomy. Built for control.

PHILOSOPHY

What we believe

Code does not matter. Solutions do.

Intent must be explicit.

Evidence must be required.

Governance must be real.

Engineers design outcomes, not implementations.

OODLC is infrastructure for outcome engineering.
