Firecrawl documents the AI software factory as five gates, with published numbers from Sentry, Stripe, Spotify and Faire
A Firecrawl post on 2026-09-11 frames production coding-agent pipelines as five stages with a gate at each: intake (Sentry's Seer scores incoming issues for actionability), isolation (Stripe boots pre-warmed devboxes in about 10 seconds), tools (Stripe's Toolshed exposes roughly 500 internal tools over MCP), verification (Spotify's LLM judge vetoes about 25% of agent sessions), and merge gate (Faire requires two human reviews on agent-authored PRs). The argument worth taking is that every company that made this work built the gates before the fleet, because generation scales with spend and review does not. It is a vendor blog, but each number is attributed to a named first-party engineering post.
