For a decade, B2B software vendors have been telling customers to wait six to twelve months for what they need today. We are stepping out of that pattern. We are switching on something we are calling the Continuous Co-Development Loop, or CCDL. Customer requests flow directly into the platform, are evaluated by AI, and trigger autonomous coding agents that build, test, and deploy the result. In many cases, no human developer touches the critical path.
The rollout starts with PayControl. As of this edition, PayControl is operating on CCDL. The product roadmap, the artifact every B2B vendor in this category builds and re-builds twice a year, has been replaced by a continuous loop. DevCode Identity and AccountIQ join the loop through the rest of 2026.
There is no roadmap. There is a loop.
How the loop runs
Five steps. First, customer feedback, regulatory updates, and operational pain points flow directly into the product, through the customer interface or through their compliance officer. Second, AI evaluates each request against impact, technical complexity, regulatory or risk relevance, and strategic fit. Third, a system developer signs off where risk classification requires human review; lower-risk items proceed without a signature. Fourth, autonomous agents write the code, run the tests, and deploy to production. Fifth, customers receive automatic feedback on what they asked for, plus a live feed of everything else shipped to the platform that week.
The result is a product that evolves with its customers rather than ahead of them. We will share concrete numbers on shipping cadence and customer signal as the loop matures across the portfolio.
Across the portfolio
CCDL is not a feature of one product. It is the operating model of the group. PayControl runs on CCDL today. DevCode Identity and AccountIQ follow through the rest of 2026. Each product company runs its own loop on shared infrastructure, with shared agents, on a shared development philosophy.
The studio model and the loop are the same thing, expressed at different altitudes. Patterns one venture discovers, a particular kind of regulatory parsing flow, an anomaly-detection heuristic, a routing decision, become reusable agent behaviour across the others over time.
Why this matters
PayControl is the venture we co-founded with Nathan Salisbury, pioneering autonomous payments. DevCode Identity is the platform our customers in regulated industries depend on to stay compliant without killing conversion. AccountIQ is the reconciliations engine that compresses finance team month-ends from days to hours.
CCDL is what lets these products evolve as quickly as the markets around them. For us, it is a meaningful change to how we build inside the group, and one we expect to compound over time as agents learn the patterns of each venture.
If you are a customer of any of our ventures, write to us. We want your requests in the loop.
