About ZeroDrift
ZeroDrift is an independent validation layer that measures whether AI agents are following the NorthStar project management framework.
The Problem We Solve
AI coding assistants promise acceleration. In practice, teams see duplicated effort, invisible rework, and code that drifts away from architecture and reality. Leaders have no objective way to quantify the waste or prove that guardrails are working.
AI Drift
Agents rebuild existing systems, ignore architecture, and bypass processes. Reviews catch it late—after hours of silent waste.
Invisible Waste
There is no metric for "AI hours wasted." Teams see speed, not the rework, rollback, abandoned branches, and lost focus.
Fake Confidence
Compliance decks claim "we use guardrails," but there's no external verification that agents actually follow them.
How ZeroDrift Works
ZeroDrift connects to your AI-assisted development workflow as an independent validator. It sits beside your tools and tells you whether your agents are actually obeying NorthStar and protecting your architecture.
Ingest
Pull in NorthStar files, sprint logs, and targeted code diffs via API or CI integration.
Analyze
Detect drift, missing documentation, sprint gaps, unapproved components, and silent rebuilds.
Score
Calculate a ZeroDrift Score for each project with an audit trail behind every point.
Alert
Surface violations in dashboards, exportable reports, or Slack/Teams notifications.
Our Philosophy
ZeroDrift doesn't ship code. It validates it. That makes it a neutral third-party signal for leaders who need proof—not promises—that their AI processes work.
Built on the NorthStar PM framework, ZeroDrift proves that structured governance and AI-native processes aren't just theoretical—they're measurable, auditable, and real.
