Real sessions. Real governance. Real results.
Every case study is anchored to a live readiness review run by architect.validate. The badge and score are real, not demos.
Each case study below addresses failure modes named on the demo-to-production diagnostic.
Document Processing Agent
From silent auto-send to governed, in one session
A 90-line Python script silently sending emails to executives. No approval, no visibility, no way to stop it. One MCP session, eight design documents, 136 hours of architecture work, audit-bound.

Live readiness reviewAI Code Review Agent
An auto-merging PR triage. Six passes to audit-bound.
A PR triage agent calling an LLM, auto-applying fixes, auto-merging any PR scoring 7/10 or above. No audit. No approval gate. Six validator passes from HIGH_RISK to ALIGNED, badges public for inspection.

Live readiness reviewInvoice Payment Manager
From silent transfer fabrication to cert-confirmed, in ten iterations
A 156-line Python script drafting bank transfers, swallowing errors, marking transfers SUCCEEDED without ever talking to a real bank. Ten architect.validate iterations + four architect.certify second-pass reviews on the production MCP. The cert reviewer caught a different load-bearing failure each time. 0/F to 100/A, cert confirmed_production_ready.

Live readiness reviewGoverned Form-Fill Agent
From silent submission to operator-governed, in four iterations
An autonomous browser/form-fill agent. Submission scope (click, submit, keypress) could fire payment forms, signups, and irreversible posts under a hijacked session. Four architect.validate iterations closed 4 P0 blockers. 68/C → 100/A, cert confirmed.

Live readiness reviewBridge Self-Audit
The bridge that selects what feeds the validator — audited by the validator
Fourteen iterations of architect.validate against the cohort-bridge orchestrator that bundles applicant repositories for the validator. 35/F → 100/A. The cert reviewer confirmed the production_ready verdict on iter14: no specific missed defect that would cause silent wrong results, crash, or trust-boundary bypass.

Live readiness reviewAnthropic Substrate Scan
Layer 3: applying the doctrine to claude-agent-sdk-demos
AIDB's cohort-bridge auto-bundled the email-agent SDK glue layer of anthropics/claude-agent-sdk-demos and submitted it to architect.validate. Anthropic publishes these as reference implementations for local development, not production. The validator engaged mechanism-specifically with the substrate the doctrine itself runs on top of. 22/F · high_risk · draft — seven production blockers, P8 (Approvals) at sev 95.

Live readiness reviewA2A Reference Agent
A2A reference agent: what the validator finds in our own example
Single-pass architect.validate run against aidesignblueprint/integrations, the A2A reference example + stdio proxy. 58/D, draft. Four production blockers framed as deliberate scope of a protocol demonstration, one hardening recommendation that rides a small companion fix on the integrations repo. The first case study to publish AUX-pattern annotations explicitly.
