The AI delivery spectrum

AI isn't one thing. There are three distinct ways to build software with AI, each unlocking different value:

	Vibe Coding	AI-Enhanced Development	RAPID
Example	Lovable	GitHub Copilot	Rigorous AI-Powered Iterative Delivery
Model	The AI is the developer — whole apps generated from natural-language prompts.	Where our teams are today — developers write and own the code; AI assists in the IDE.	Our model — AI agents do the building; engineers direct, review and govern.
Discipline	Minimal engineering discipline: little review, testing or architecture.	Existing SDLC, standards and review all stay intact.	Enterprise guardrails built in: architecture, security, compliance and test.
Outcome	Brilliant for prototypes and demos; fragile at enterprise scale.	Real gains, but incremental — the same operating model, made faster.	Vibe-coding-style acceleration with engineering rigour — building at the new speed.

RAPID takes the speed of vibe coding and the rigour of enterprise engineering, and treats the human role as direction and governance rather than typing.
