Technical Overview

ZTHR is a pattern framework and methodological approach for AI-generated software engineering. It is built for development and architecture teams seeking to enforce quality through verifiable test environments rather than trusting author authorship. It deploys via architectural specifications and technical patterns for continuous validation.
