1. What is D-POAF®?

D-POAF® is an open-source governance framework designed to make AI-enabled software delivery structured, traceable, and provable. It does NOT replace your existing tools — it adds a governance layer on top.

Three founding principles

• Proof over assumption — No AI contribution without traceability
• Roles over ad-hoc — Accountability is structural
• Living Governance — Governance evolves with the team

2. The Wave — core delivery unit

Everything in D-POAF® is organized around a Wave: a governed container for a unit of AI-enabled work. A Wave is not a ticket, not a sprint, and not a project.

The 6 dimensions of a Wave

• Scope — Objectives, boundaries, business requirements
• Piloting — Early AI experiments, tool evaluations
• AI Context — Prompts, model versions, context snapshots
• Execution — AI-generated contributions + human decisions
• Proofs — PoD (Delivery), PoV (Value), PoR (Reliability)
• Traceability — Auditable chain from intent to outcome
