The $750k Liability: Why "Vibe Coding" Fails.
Series A startups are bleeding velocity due to non-deterministic test suites. The cost isn't just bugs—it's the inability to ship on Friday.
ANNUAL_WASTE_REPORT
VIBE CODING (Current) $750,000
INDUSTRIAL GOVERNANCE (Defkt) $120,000
*Based on avg. engineering time lost to flaky test triage (20%) + delayed releases + compliance fines.
The Hidden Costs
- • Compliance Risk: GDPR/AI Act fines (4% of revenue).
- • Velocity Drag: Reworking flaky tests instead of shipping features.
- • Reputation: One bad agent hallucination in production erodes trust forever.
The Quality Tax
When you rely on "Vibe Checks" (manual spot-checking of LLM outputs), you are paying a tax on every release. You cannot scale manual review.
Industrial QA means treating your AI outputs as infrastructure. If it breaks, the pipeline stops. If it passes, you deploy without fear.
Stop Paying the Tax
Defkt replaces "Vibe Checks" with Deterministic Assertions. We verify the logic, not just the text.
