When to Use Janus

Janus is designed for environments where governance of autonomous or semi-autonomous development processes becomes necessary.

Recommended scenarios

Janus is useful when systems require:

• AI-assisted software development
• strict traceability of system evolution
• deterministic reconstruction of runtime state
• auditability of automated processes
• governance over multi-agent environments

When Janus may not be necessary

Janus may be unnecessary when:

• systems are simple and manually maintained
• traceability requirements are minimal
• development processes are fully human-controlled
• governance over automation is not required

Janus is intentionally designed as a micro-layer, not as a replacement for existing system architectures.
