A new methodology called HELIX is proposed for AI-first software development, addressing the shift from expensive code writing to the cost of verifying AI-generated code. This approach emphasizes trust per change, with AI agents handling generation and analysis within explicit guardrails, while humans retain intent and judgment. The HELIX model features a double helix structure with human and machine strands, connected by verification contracts that gate AI output based on risk tiers. AI
IMPACT This methodology could significantly alter software development practices by prioritizing verification over code generation speed.
RANK_REASON This item describes a new methodology for software development, not a product release or research breakthrough.
