Measured in man-days on real projects for Škoda Auto, Moneta Money Bank and ČEZ, against the original plan or a conventional build estimate, 2025–2026.
Škoda Auto
Whole project: 223 instead of 318 man-days.
ČEZ
Man-days saved on test automation, delivered 2 months ahead of plan.

Moneta Bank
Legacy system analysis: 2 days instead of 2.5 weeks.

AI now writes a large share of the code. But every change still has to be specified, reviewed, tested, secured and released, and most of that work still runs through people. That is where delivery slows down.
faster release cycles leaders expect from AI in the next 1–2 years
less delivery effort with Trask Vela, measured on full enterprise projects
more time spent on code review as AI speeds up coding
Analysis, testing and documentation move as fast as the code.
Every piece of work has a clear Definition of Done and a measured cost.
Human approval and automated tests on every change, with evidence auditors can use.
How your systems work is captured in specifications, not in a few people’s heads.
Every story follows the same path, with four human approval gates.
Requirements, architecture and clickable mockups.
Specification and design, challenged before build.
Test-driven code, AI code review, security checks.
Documented releases and fast bug fixes.
Brain – methodology as code – 22 specialist AI roles, from business analyst to security engineer. Standards, templates and quality criteria, versioned and tested like software. Industry knowledge packs for banking, utilities, energy, automotive and healthcare.
Engine – orchestration – A delivery state machine that drives every story through the workflow on your own Jira, GitLab or GitHub. Background agents work one story at a time, with AI critic and judge loops inside each phase. Configurable per client and industry without code changes.
Modules – 19 capabilities – From bug triage to a complete delivery line. Each module works on its own, so you can start with one. Maturity is shown openly: Matured, Core or Preview.
Task management – Jira, YouTrack, GitHub, GitLab
Code repositories – GitHub, GitLab
Information intake – Confluence, Figma, MS Office, MS Teams
Testing – Vitest, Playwright, Robot Framework
Security tools – SonarQube, AISLE
AI models – Anthropic, OpenAI, Qwen – configurable per task
Agent harness – Claude Agent SDK; other harnesses on the roadmap
Runtime – TypeScript, Node.js, Neo4j, Qdrant, Fastify, OpenTelemetry; deployed with npm or Docker
Minimum to start – access to your code repository and task management system. Integrations to your own standard tools can be added.
Inside each phase, AI checks AI – An adversarial critic attacks every design and an independent judge decides. Code review runs as an audit-and-fix loop until approved. Tests must run and report pass or fail.
Between phases, people decide – G0 business approves analysis, architecture and mockups. G1 a reviewer approves each story’s design. G2 a human merges every merge request. G3 a human approves every release.
No runaway spend – Every loop has a hard retry budget; cost is tracked per phase and per ticket, with budget caps.;
Full visibility – Every story’s state is on your board. Every step is logged, every artifact versioned, with one auditable commit per task.
G0 Analysis – facts registry with cited sources, business requirements document, system architecture and ADRs, clickable mockups, open questions.
G1 Design – story specification and technical plan, UX screens, task breakdown, design-gate log.
G2 Code & tests – the code, code-review record, executed test reports, security assessment (OWASP).
G3 Release – release notes, deployment runbook, cost and effort telemetry, requirement-to-commit traceability.
Runs in your estate – on-premise or private cloud; you choose and approve the models and endpoints.
Every build checked – static analysis, OWASP checks per story, no unresolved high or critical finding without explicit risk acceptance.
Accountable agents – each AI role commits under its own git identity, with a full audit trail of who generated and who approved what.
Industry packs – regulatory requirements such as DORA and PSD2 applied as defaults.
Frameworks – built with NIST AI RMF, OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications and MITRE ATLAS in mind.
Many of the world’s largest IT service firms have built AI delivery platforms, but most keep them for their own teams. With Trask Vela, the factory comes to you.
Licensed into your environment, with the AI models you approve. We hand over control when you’re ready.
Every change updates specs, tests and docs, versioned beside the code.
Test automation, bug fixing or a full delivery line. Scale when the results are there.
30+ years with banks, insurers, automakers, energy and telecom.
You buy delivered software, not hours.
You know what you get and when you get it.
Set up
One application, connected to your tools; success metrics agreed.
Deliver
A joint team delivers through the four gates; your reviewers hold every gate.
Measure and decide
Time and cost against your baseline; a clear decision on scaling.
Vela means “the sails”. Sails don’t set the course; people do.
