Compliance checks
When a builder or agent proposes something, Clavero evaluates it against your principles and active investment areas. Aligned work ships without your involvement. Soft concerns go back to the builder. Hard violations come to you — with the reasoning and a suggested alternative.
Proposal
Add a confirmation modal before project creation
⛔ Hard violation
Don’t add steps to the activation flow
This adds a mandatory step to the activation flow, increasing click count by 1.
💡 Suggested alternative
Inline the confirmation on the existing step — a single checkbox rather than a new screen. Same safeguard, no extra click.
A proposal lands. Clavero reads it against every principle that applies — global rules, area-scoped rules, standards — and every active investment area. Then it returns one of three verdicts.
Aligned. No violations, no concerns. The builder proceeds.
Soft concern. A soft or advisory principle is in tension. The builder sees what was flagged, why, and a suggested alternative. They choose: revise, proceed, or escalate.
Hard violation. A non-negotiable rule is breached. The builder can still proceed if they want to — but the violation is logged, the alternative is offered, and “escalate to PM” is the expected next step.
Across a month of typical usage, roughly 78% of proposals come back aligned. About 13% self-correct after a soft concern — the builder revises without ever pinging you. Around 9% escalate.
You used to review everything. Now you review the 9%. That’s how one PM’s judgment scales to a team of thirty.
Agents call clavero_check_compliancebefore implementing. When a hard violation comes back, the agent doesn’t write the wrong code and ask forgiveness — it proposes the alternative and asks you to choose. The first line of a bad feature is never written.
Engineer: Build a feature that auto-completes onboarding for returning users.
Claude:Let me check this against your team’s product principles.
⛔ This conflicts with a hard boundary:
“Never complete setup on behalf of the user.”
The concern is that auto-completion removes user agency, which is core to activation quality.
Alternative: pre-fill setup from their previous session but require one click to confirm. Same speed benefit, maintains agency. Want me to go that direction instead?
Proposal, verdict, action, who ran it, who reviewed it. The Direction log is the audit trail your board will ask for the first time something ships that shouldn’t have. Except it won’t — because the log also shows you the ones that didn’t.
