New: Baz Planner - eliminate entire classes of bugs before code is written

Don’t review the wrong code

Baz Planner catches the wrong approach before code exists. It checks the plan against your architecture, constraints, and standards, so whole classes of bugs never reach a pull request.

baz - plan
baz plan --change BAZ-1842
# Add audit logging to payment refunds
plan drafted · checked against architecture and constraints
refunds emit an audit event - even on failure
money paths use the typed Money value, never floats
inline backfill of 14k events performance risk - step rewritten
plan approved · agent briefed
2 issue classes eliminated · 0 rework cycles paid

The most expensive bugs are approved by the plan.

They aren’t missed at review. A vague ticket becomes almost-right code, then engineers spend cycles fixing the approach after the work is done. Planner reviews the approach first, so the fix costs a plan edit, not a rework cycle.

Review the approach before anyone builds it

Every plan is read the way a senior engineer would read it: against your architecture, your constraints, and the calls your team already made.

Turn vague tickets into buildable plans

Scoped steps, named trade-offs, explicit verification. Ambiguity dies before implementation starts.

A clear stop/go before code

Planner scores each step against a risk matrix, blocks unsafe paths, and rewrites costly ones before they can become code.

Review as confirmation

When the plan is right, the pull request is a sanity check. Reviewers confirm the approach they already approved instead of correcting it.

Result The mistake that would have cost a rework cycle costs a plan edit instead.

Catch it in the plan, not the pull request.

We’ll run Planner against a real change from your backlog and show you what it catches before a line of code exists. Teams cut rework up to 65%.
