1. The Starting Point - Why the Firm Looked to AI Agents
At the end of Q2, the product launch calendar revealed a stark 30 % sprint-velocity shortfall. John Carter’s audit added another layer: the defect rate sat at 12 %, up 4 % year-over-year. That translated to 1.2 % more bugs per 1,000 lines of code than the industry benchmark of 10
