DGS vs LLMs

Verification gates.

Make “review” a first-class step, not a best-effort habit.

Draft vs approved is a real boundary

In professional work, drafts are allowed to be wrong. Approved artifacts must be checkable and fit-for-use.

Gates make risk explicit

Verification gates define what must be true before an output is adopted — review, acceptance criteria, and sign-off.

DGS is designed around gating

DGS emphasizes structured artifacts and verification steps so teams can review the output and decide whether to rely on it.

Practical gate

Require acceptance criteria

Before adoption, ensure the artifact includes scope, assumptions, acceptance criteria, and an explicit approval step.
