AtlanticFactory investigates the backlog, writes the change, proves it in a browser, reviews the diff, and opens the pull request.
Claude Code works from your terminal and follows the task you give it. Your team remains responsible for selecting, proving, and reviewing the work.
The difference is not who can write code. It is who chooses the work, proves the result, and owns the path to review.

Factory boots the branch on a real machine, drives the changed surface in a browser, and records the result before the pull request opens.

Linear, Jira, GitHub, Slack, Sentry, and your repository give Factory the context to choose and scope the next issue.
See integrationsA separate model reviews the diff, raises blockers and flags, and sends fixes back through the loop. Factory never merges the result.

Atlantic investigates, implements, proves, and reviews the change. Your team makes the final call.
