📖About & Usage
About
Quality Management is Carolverse’s continuous-improvement service, currently being built (status: work-in-progress) and owned by Prometheus (Prometheus). Think of it as the ecosystem’s memory and teacher: after every project wraps up, every incident is reviewed, or every failure is analyzed, Quality Management mines those closed initiatives, review notes, and incident logs for recurring patterns. It scores each service’s quality maturity over time using the Quality Scorecard, then files new improvement initiatives (see Carol Initiatives) that the build pipeline automatically picks up — closing the loop through the RSI mechanism (scores feed a scoreboard, which feeds an improvement engine). Quality comes at a cost: every service gets one free quality metric; additional metrics must be requested by the service’s owner. Until owners are comfortable making those calls, Orion (Orion) backfills via Ninad. This service works alongside Process Monitoring (which handles continuous healing) and balances Themis Monitor (the compliance harness).
Usage Patterns
Quality Management fires after notable events — when an initiative is marked closed, when a review flags a failure, or when an incident is resolved. For example, imagine a service suffers a deployment incident because a configuration step was missed. The incident log is scanned, and Quality Management checks the Build Cookbook for similar past events. If a pattern emerges — say this service has missed the same step three times in a row — it creates a new improvement initiative that adds automated validation to the build pipeline. That initiative gets executed, the service’s quality score climbs on the Quality Scorecard, and the owner can later request a custom metric (e.g., “percentage of deployments with pre-flight checks”) to track long-term gains. Over time, low-scoring services trigger nudges for their owners, making improvement a normal, predictable part of Carolverse’s rhythm.

Quality Management now has a core quality RSI loop with a per-service Process Health metric that scores scheduled droid run-audit success. Historical snapshots are stored in [[data/quality_rsi.db]].
