What We Proved
The Orion Alliance AI project achieved complete compliance across Phases 0–9.5, with all critical infrastructure, security, and operational readiness deliverables verified and merged.
On November 8, 2025, the Codex automated audit completed with 7/7 PASS, consolidating:
- Phase 7.5 (Cost/Quality Telemetry): 65% cost reduction while maintaining 89% Pass@1 quality
Phase 9 (Sentinel Security Agent): 0.102ms p50 / 0.205ms p95 latency (100× under target)
Phase 9.5 (Readiness & Observability): All gates, dashboards, SLO tracking, and incident response infrastructure completeThis milestone establishes a verified baseline for continuous compliance, market-facing communications, and CI/CD automation.
