Start with the operating reality.
We map users, workflows, current systems, constraints, hardware, access boundaries, and known failures before defining the build. This prevents a clean solution to the wrong problem.
How we work
Confidence should come from evidence.
Bugfyxe is built around a simple rule: the proof must match the claim. A passing unit test cannot prove a browser flow. A successful build cannot prove an OS boots. A polished demo cannot prove an integration is connected.
Four working principles.
Prove the riskiest assumption early.
The first useful artifact is the one that removes the most uncertainty: a live integration, a hardware bring-up, a browser flow, a bootable image, or an operational prototype.
Treat boundaries as part of the product.
Frontend and backend, device and firmware, AI and tools, business process and software—most failures live between disciplines. We design those boundaries explicitly.
Show what actually ran.
Disconnected systems remain labeled disconnected. Failed checks stay visible. Completion means the requested artifact was exercised in the environment required by the claim.
The evidence changes by medium.
| Software products | Automated tests, production builds, real browser flows, responsive inspection, network checks, clean consoles, and deployment verification. |
|---|---|
| AI systems | Representative tasks, grounded source checks, connector state, tool-call traces, action boundaries, escalation behavior, and outcome review. |
| Operating systems | Built artifacts, bootable images, guest-generated serial output, VM or hardware proof, screenshots, and regression runs. |
| CAD and 3D design | Editable source geometry, dimensional and clearance review, assembly states, export checks, and rendered proof from the actual model. |
| PCB and embedded | Schematic and layout review, rule checks, bill-of-material constraints, prototype bring-up, measurements, firmware behavior, and integration tests. |
| Robotics | Sensor and actuator checks, control-loop behavior, safety limits, telemetry, recovery behavior, and repeatable physical trials. |
What we do not do.
Fake operating data
If a connector is not wired, the interface says so. We do not invent telemetry or statuses to make a screen feel complete.
Hide uncertainty with polish
Visual quality matters, but it cannot substitute for a clear operating model, a credible architecture, or a working system.
Call an artifact finished before running it
Code generation is not delivery. The result is built, opened, exercised, and inspected before completion is reported.
