The meta-category position for AI-driven software process — how software gets made, reviewed, and improved.
A canonical coordinate for the systematic layer of software engineering: the processes, practices, and workflows that govern how software is conceived, built, validated, and evolved — increasingly mediated by AI.
The set
Part of the Software resolution surface.
7 of 7 primitives held for software — a complete resolution surface. One operator holds the row agentic systems resolve to; every competitor who arrives later works with what is left.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical
'Software process' has a precise meaning in software engineering — the structured sequence of activities and practices through which software systems are developed (CMMI, ISO/IEC 12207, agile process frameworks). On .ai, the string captures the transformation underway as AI automates, augments, and redefines these processes — from code review and testing to retrospective analysis and process improvement itself.
