PROOF / MEASURED OCTOBER 4, 2026
Two production products. Every line written by AI. Every change approved by a person.
We built our own businesses on ARGOS before offering it to anyone else.

Measured on the main branch, October 4, 2026. Lines of code count source files only (C#, Dart, TypeScript, Terraform, scripts and workflows) and exclude generated code. Test lines are an approximate split by file path. Built by a team of two, with no new hires, for under $3,000.
The queue gets drained, not filled.
Two open work items out of 863 on TheRVMap. For most engineering teams, that number only grows.
Caught before merge
Anyone can generate code. What matters is what stops bad code from shipping. These four defects came from routine work. All passed their tests, none showed an error, and ARGOS caught every one before release.
A runaway request loop.
A page that failed to load a name retried forever: 429 requests in 800 milliseconds from one open tab.
A moderation control that did nothing.
Submissions meant to wait for approval were quietly marked approved.
A permission filter that leaked.
A new database query dropped the rule deciding which records a user could see.
A test that couldn’t fail.
Deliberately breaking the rule it checked still left every test green.
A human reviewer reads the first pull request carefully and the two-hundredth at 5 p.m. on Friday. ARGOS gives every line the same attention, and has time to build the experiment that proves a hunch.
