Vigil · Helix Platform
Teams are shipping AI-generated code faster than they can verify it.
That is the 2026 operating problem. Merge volume goes up. Review capacity does not. Escaped defects show up in the metrics before anyone names the cause.
What I find in diagnostics
The recurring pattern is not “engineers are lazy.” It is confidence without context: plausible code against weak specs, tests that assert the easy path, and a release gate that cannot keep pace with how fast diffs arrive — especially when AI assistants fill the backlog.
- Change failure rate and rollback climb in the same quarter AI coding tools land.
- Coverage looks fine on paper; customer-visible failures still escape.
- QA headcount is flat while merge rate is not — verification becomes the scarce resource.
What Vigil does about it
Vigil is a spec-driven autonomous QA platform built on a 10-agent pipeline on AWS AgentCore. Outcome framing only — not a feature tour:
Coverage that tracks risk
Verification effort concentrates where product risk concentrates — not where unit tests are cheapest to write.
Fewer escaped defects
Failures that would have reached customers are caught against executable intent before release.
QA capacity without linear headcount
Teams displace the need to grow manual QA one-for-one with merge volume.

Conflict of interest
I co-founded Helix Platform and serve as its CEO.
Vigil is built by Helix Platform, Inc. I have an ownership interest. When advisory work surfaces a quality-system failure, Vigil may be one implementation path I name — clearly labeled as such.
Advisory clients are never obligated to adopt Vigil. You can take the Technical Risk Assessment, book a conversation, or run a Diagnostic Sprint without ever speaking to Helix. Choosing another vendor, hiring QA, or fixing process alone is always on the table.
The transparency is the point. Buried affiliations destroy trust; stated ones let you weight the recommendation yourself.
Next step
If the binding problem is verification capacity, use the form. If you need an independent read of risk first, start with the assessment — that path stays on the advisory side.
