Often asked

SDLC governance resources questions, answered.

What format are the documents in?

Both documents are delivered as PDFs to the email address you provide. Total combined length is 74 pages. Both documents are designed to be read on a laptop or tablet rather than a phone.

Is there a cost? Will I be added to a marketing list?

Both documents are free, but we manually review each request before sending. The contact details you provide are used to send the PDFs and follow up once if you indicated interest in a demo. No newsletter spam, no third-party sharing. Unsubscribe with a reply at any point.

Why is there a confidentiality acknowledgment?

SDLC Playbook is in private design partner program stage. The Strategic Brief and User Journeys documents include detailed product specifications, market positioning, and pricing models. The acknowledgment is a good-faith confirmation that you’re evaluating the product for legitimate business purposes, not for competitive analysis or to build a similar product. Standard practice for pre-launch B2B SaaS.

How long does the review take?

Within 1 business day for most requests. We do a quick check to confirm the request is from a legitimate business evaluator (engineering leader, compliance officer, federal contractor, etc.) rather than a competitor doing competitive research. If we need more context before sending, we’ll reply with a short email rather than declining outright.

Can I share these with my team?

Yes, internally with your team for evaluation purposes. Both documents are designed to be reviewed by engineering leaders, compliance teams, and procurement at the same organization. Please don’t share externally, post publicly, or distribute beyond your evaluation team. If you’re evaluating SDLC governance software for your organization, that’s exactly the audience we wrote for.

How current are the documents?

Both documents reflect the v1.2 product spec as of May 2026. They cover the MVP scope (seven AI agents at MVP scaling to thirteen by v2.0), the three-tier pricing model (Team, Business, Enterprise), and the federal compliance roadmap including FedRAMP Moderate authorization targeted for Q4 2026.
