Solution Brief
The Baz Planner solution brief
An eight-page brief for engineering leaders: what the rework tax costs, how Planner reviews the plan before the code exists, and how it fits the coding agents and source control you already run.
What's inside
One document to circulate internally.
Everything a team needs to evaluate plan-first review, in the order the argument is usually made: the problem, the product, the fit, and the proof.
The rework tax, priced
The 50.2% correction-loop baseline, where review activity actually goes by rework tier, and the cost curve, measured across 59,860 PRs from May to July 2026.
What Baz Planner is
The gate between intent and implementation: design review before coding, decision-oriented specs, and a risk matrix that blocks unsafe paths before they become code.
The integration map
A flow diagram showing where Planner sits: Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex generating the code, and GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps carrying the pull request.
How to use it
Install steps for each platform and a planning session end to end, from /baz:plan-with-baz to an approved plan briefing the agent.
Security and hosting
The least-privilege permission model, SOC 2 posture, and private hosting options: Private Mode inside your VPC or a fully self-hosted cluster.
Proof in production
Customer results, including up to 65% less rework, measured by revert and hotfix PRs after merge.
