Key terms and domain definitions for the Evolith Tracker product.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| SDLC | Software Development Life Cycle. |
| Tracker Suite | End-to-end AI-Native tracking engine for Evolith's SDLC, composed of 5 independent monolithic systems. |
| RACI | Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed matrix. |
| BMAD Method | Business, Machine, Architecture, Development framework. Uses AI agents to automate execution while humans govern. |
| Progressive Monolith | A system designed natively as a monolith with logical boundaries (e.g. Hexagonal Architecture), enabling easy extraction into microservices in the future. |
| Execution Mode | Per-phase configuration determining whether work is assigned to humans (manual) or BMAD AI Agents (automated). Only two modes exist — no hybrid. Approval gates always require a human. |
| Architecture Drift | The deviation between the approved technical specification (Spec) and the actual physical code implemented. |
| Spec-as-Source | The paradigm where architectural contracts (OpenAPI, ADRs) are the ultimate source of truth and are generated before any code is written. |
| UMS | User Management System. Evolith's corporate SaaS for Authentication and Role management. |
| .harness | External Continuous Integration and Automated QA system integrated with the Tracker. |
| Funnel 0 / Phase 0 | The Strategic Intake phase of the SDLC. Acts as the entry port where business cases are received from external PPM tools before promotion to the Discovery phase. |
| Loop Engineer | An AI-Native engineering agent governed by the orchestration layer. Responsible for executing technical feasibility, Build-vs-Compose validation, and architectural risk checks at phase gates. |
| Handshake API | The bi-directional integration contract and endpoint enabling secure, asynchronous connection between external PPM tools (e.g. Meisterplan) and Evolith Tracker. |
| Strategic Baseline | An immutable, versioned node written to the Evidence Graph at intake that captures initial non-financial strategic criteria (technical risk, target goals) and the opportunity_ref pointer, keeping the execution pipeline free of cost/budget logic. |
| PPM ACL | Anti-Corruption Layer specifically built to normalize third-party PPM schemas into Evolith's canonical domain model, preventing model pollution. |
