Six weeks at Plum: what changed.

The software factory built at Plum, a Series B company selling employee health insurance, in six weeks. Six pages: the seven paradigms, Plum's record before, the four pieces, how a ticket moves, and what changed, measured from the factory's own CI runs.

• The seven paradigms of building software with AI, with a year on each and where most teams are.
• Plum's baseline from six months of Jira and GitHub history, and the same query you can run on yours.
• Before and after the software factory: turnaround, the test suite, review, token cost.
• Six questions to bring to a call, the first three asked of your own record.
