IDCVE
A decision-driven software development lifecycle model in which Intent, Decision, Creation, Validation, and Evolution are treated as sequential phases. Each phase produces a human-approved artifact before the next phase begins. Nothing moves forward without an explicit human decision gate. Coined as a complement to the Decide-Generate-Verify model — IDCVE governs what to build and why, while DGV governs how to build it correctly.
"We stopped reworking features every sprint when we adopted IDCVE — the Direction Packet approval gate alone eliminated half our misalignment meetings."
