DGS vs LLMs

Scope control & assumptions.

When scope is explicit, review becomes possible.

Scope drift is the silent failure mode

If the problem definition isn’t explicit, outputs can look plausible while subtly changing the task. Teams often catch this late — after decisions are made.

Assumptions must be visible

Professional work requires knowing what the system assumed: constraints, dependencies, and what was excluded.

Artifact-first makes boundaries explicit

DGS-style workflows emphasize scoping and structured artifacts so reviewers can check what the output claims and what it doesn’t.
